Ports America already off-loaded a large number of forty-foot containers into lot 22 onboard Port Hueneme which is merchandise expected to have direct impact with helping to support holiday supply demands,' said base assistant programme director for port operations Daniel Herrera.
Oxnard Harbour president Jason Hodge declared that commercial business at the port has increased significantly over the past year.
