Los Angeles on pace to exceed 10 million TEUs for second time in port’s history

The Port of Los Angeles handled 884,315 TEUs in November, marking a 16% increase compared to the same month last year.

In the first 11 months of 2024, the Californian port has processed 9,375,735 TEUs, representing a 19% growth over 2023.

At a media briefing, Scott Kelly, Vice President of Ocean Services for the Americas at Expeditors International, joined Executive Director Gene Seroka to discuss tariffs, labour challenges on the East and Gulf coasts, and the critical role logistics companies like Expeditors play in the global supply chain.

“We are well on pace to exceed 10 million container units for only the second time in our 117-year history,” stated Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “It’s a remarkable milestone that we owe to the collective efforts of our partners: The women and men of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, our trucking community, terminal operators, rail partners and many others whose efforts continue to elevate the Port of Los Angeles to new heights.”

Meanwhile, November saw loaded imports reach 458,165 TEUs, up 19% year-over-year, while loaded exports totalled 124,117 TEUs, an 11% increase from 2023. The major US port also moved 302,033 empty containers, a 13% rise compared to the previous year.
