The Port of Los Angeles processed 827,757 TEU in June, a 10 per cent increase over the previous month and less than 1 per cent compared to last June.
Six months into 2024, the port is 14 per cent ahead of the previous year.
Port of Los Angeles Executive Director, Gene Seroka, said: “June was a great month at the port, capping off of a stellar first half of the year. The last six months have been steady and consistent, both in terms of cargo volume and, equally important, the efficiency on and around our terminal operations.
“The US economy continues to be the primary driver of our cargo volume and I expect to see that continue in the months ahead. We have ample capacity on our docks to efficiently handle more goods as retailers and e-commerce outlets begin to move fall fashion, Halloween and year-end holiday items through the supply chain.”
