THE port of Los Angeles handled a record 954,706 TEU, a 27 per cent year-on-year increase to 2.9 million in the third quarter, reported Washington, DC's Transportation Today News.
During the first nine months of the year, the port moved 7.6 million TEU, 18 per cent more than it moved during the first nine months of 2023.
'Just as impressive as these new records is the fact that we managed all this cargo with skill and efficiency,' said Gene Seroka, Port of Los Angeles executive director.
'None of this would be possible without the incredible efforts of our longshore workers, truckers, terminal and rail operators, and other supply chain partners. Their hard work has allowed us to achieve all these records and still be able to handle additional volume.'
During September, the port processed 342,201 empty containers, a 45 per cent increase compared to September 2023.
Loaded exports were 114,702 TEU, a five per cent decrease compared to September 2023, while loaded imports landed was 497,803 TEU, a 26 per cent increase.
