Port of Los Angeles processed 827,757 TEUs in June, translating to a 10% increase over the previous month and less than 1% compared to last June, which was the port’s best month in 2023.
“June was a great month at the Port of Los Angeles, capping off of a stellar first half of the year,” confirmed Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “The last six months have been steady and consistent, both in terms of cargo volume and, equally important, the efficiency on and around our terminal operations.”
He went on to add, “The US economy continues to be the primary driver of our cargo volume and I expect to see that continue in the months ahead. We have ample capacity on our docks to efficiently handle more goods as retailers and e-commerce outlets begin to move fall fashion, Halloween and year-end holiday items through the supply chain.”

June marked the 13th consecutive month of year-over-year export gains in Los Angeles.
Overall, the Port of Los Angeles has moved 4,731,491 TEUs the first six months of 2024, a 14% increase over the 2023 mark of 4,137,379 TEUs.
