Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “While we expect more cargo moving crossing our docks in March, volume will likely remain lighter than average in the first half of 2023.”
Cargo quantity remained comfortable on the Port of Los Angeles in November because the port dealt with 639,344 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEU), a 21% lower from November 2021. Overall, the port has dealt with 7% much less cargo within the first 11 months of 2022 in comparison with final 12 months’s all-time file.
“Imports into the United States have begun to level off, in addition to cargo that has shifted away from West Coast ports due to protracted labor negotiations,” Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka advised a media briefing. “In the months ahead, we’re going to have to work harder and smarter to earn cargo back. Every ship, every train, every truck needs to be handled with the top-level service our customers expect and deserve.”
November 2022 loaded imports reached 307,080 TEUs, down 24% in comparison with the earlier 12 months. Loaded exports got here in at 90,116 TEUs, a rise of 9% in comparison with final November. Empty containers landed at 242,148 TEUs, a 26% year-over-year decline.
