Loaded imports reached 87,896 TEU in March 2025, a 5.3 per cent increase over March 2024.
Growth was led by furniture and electric batteries, reflecting continued demand in both consumer goods and renewable energy sectors. A consistent flow of transpacific cargo continues to support Oakland's inbound volumes.

While monthly growth was modest, export volumes held steady through the first quarter. Agricultural commodities, including refrigerated cargo, remain a core strength for Oakland, supported by dedicated cold chain infrastructure.
In February 2025, the port handled 146,104 loaded TEU. Imports rose five per cent year on year, reaching 80,582 TEU compared to 76,734 in February 2024.

Looking ahead, the port is closely monitoring global trade conditions and remains focused on long-term resiliency amid ongoing policy and market shifts.
