THE Pacific Merchant Shipping Association (PMSA) reports February rail-destined cargo dwell time for LA Long Beach increased to eight days in February, up from 7.08 days in January and 6.53 days in December, reported London's Port Technology International.
This surge comes in anticipation of the imposition of higher federal tariffs and steady local cargo flows in Southern California, said the PMSA.
While truck-destined container dwell times remained steady, terminals experienced an uptick in rail-destined containers and rail-cargo dwell time.
Following a short period of improvement after a significant spike in October 2024, rail-destined cargo dwell time increased to 8.00 days in February, up from 7.08 days in January and 6.53 days in December.
Cargo moving through the san Pedro Bay Port Complex via truck spent an average of 2.81 days at port terminals in February, an improvement from January's 3.25 days.
Said PMSA external affairs manager Natasha Villa: 'These fluctuations in rail dwell time have been consistent with recent container volumes, and as we approached lunar new year and the tariff headwinds.'
