The Port of Los Angeles is expected to process over 10 million container units this year, fueled by a surge in activity and a potential record-breaking December. The port handled more than 880,000 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in November, a 16% increase from the previous year. This follows a pattern of increased cargo movement through the Los Angeles port, partly attributed to ongoing labor disputes on the East Coast and anticipatory cargo shipments due to potential tariffs.
The Port of Los Angeles is on track to process more than 10 million container units this year and is expecting a record-breaking December . The port in San Pedro handled more than 880,000 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units in November, up 16% from the same period last year, Executive Director Gene Seroka said. This year, the port has moved more than 9.3 million TEUs. “We’re tracking 19% ahead of 2023 and 7% above that all important five year average,” Seroka said at a media briefing this week.
“A few issues have led to increased cargo movement through Los Angeles,” Seroka said, including “the unresolved labor contract negotiations on the East and Gulf coasts, as well as frontloading of cargo as a hedge against potential tariffs.” Thousands of dockworkers from Maine to Texas launched a strike in October over wages and the use of automation, shutting down seaports along the East Coast and disrupting normal trade.
