Port of Los Angeles Executive Director, Gene Seroka, said: “This January milestone adds to a great run of strong volume, with the last seven months averaging more than 927,000 container units.
“A strong economy, along with importers bringing in cargo as a hedge against tariffs and ahead of Lunar New Year, were key factors in January. We continue to move these record-breaking volumes quickly and efficiently, without ship delays.”
