Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka commented on the achievement: “For 17 of the last 19 months, the port has experienced year-over-year cargo growth, all without ship delays or back-ups on our docks.
“Given the substantial inventory already here, and the uncertainty of tariffs, it’s possible we could see a 10 per cent volume decline in the second half of the year. We will continue to look for new opportunities to bring more business through our gateway.”
Just recently, the port named Stephanie Magnien Rockwell as its new Chief of Staff to the Executive Director.
