Port of Los Angeles sees sustained import surge ahead of tariffs
tariff increases and seek to avoid labor-related disruptions at alternate ports.
“The Port of Los Angeles handled a robust 905,000 container units in October,” Executive Director Gene Seroka told reporters on Wednesday. That’s a 25% gain over last year and is the first time the port handled more than 900,000 containers for four months in a row.
“Los Angeles processed more cargo between July and October than we did during our peak year in 2021 or our second-best year in 2022,” Seroka said.
Imports at the Port of Los Angeles last month landed at 462,740 20-foot container equivalent units, or TEUs. The port also handled 122,716 export containers and 319,570 empty containers in October, according to port data.
Next door, the Port of Long Beach moved nearly 1 million import, export, and empty containers in October, beating a record set just two months ago.This year, the LA and Long Beach ports, which together account for roughly a third of all US container imports, have seen their busiest ever peak season, which began earlier — and has lasted longer — than is typical.
