Port of Long Beach moves over 760,000 TEUs in February

Trade through the Port of Long Beach continued its upward trend for the ninth consecutive month in February, driven by retailers accelerating shipments ahead of expected tariffs on certain imported goods and materials.

Dockworkers and terminal operators at the Californian port handled 765,385 TEUs during the second month of the year, marking a 13.4% increase compared to February 2024.

Imports grew by 11.8% to 368,669 TEUs, while exports saw a 2.9% rise to 90,026 TEUs. The movement of empty containers also surged by 19.1% to 306,690 TEUs.

“No matter the situation, the Port will remain competitive by delivering exceptional customer service and moving ahead with capital improvement projects that will allow us to grow well into the future,” commented Mario Cordero, CEO at Port of Long Beach.

Overall, the Port of Long Beach has processed 1,718,118 TEUs in the first two months of 2025, reflecting a 27.4% increase over the same period in 2024.

“Our dockworkers, marine terminal operators and all of our industry partners are processing an extraordinary amount of cargo through this vital trans-Pacific gateway,” mentioned Bonnie Lowenthal, President at Long Beach Harbor Commission.
