That was the port’s first year-on-year monthly increase in the last 13 months.

Loaded imports totalled 433,224 TEUs in August 2023, a 7% increase over the previous year, loaded exports reached 124,988 TEUs, a 22% increase over August 2022 and empty containers reached 269,804 TEUs, a 10% decrease year on year.

He further added, “Overall, global trade has eased this year and we expect that trend to continue in the coming months. Operationally, Los Angeles stands ready with capacity we’re prepared to scale on demand.”
