Port of Oakland handles over 60,000 TEUs in September

The Port of Oakland’s loaded container volume increased by 7% in September compared to the same month in 2023.

For the second month, loaded imports experienced double-digit growth with port operators recording 10.4% growth handling 82,180 TEUs, while loaded exports rose 2.9% year-over-year.

Overall, the Californian port moved 61,466 TEUs in September, versus 59,757 TEUs in the same month last year.

“Oakland has benefited from a final push by importers wanting to ensure supplies for the holiday season,” pointed out Port of Oakland Maritime Director, Bryan Brandes. “We expect to have a strong fourth quarter for container volume because it’s also harvest time. We are seeing more agricultural exports going to overseas markets.”

Port of Oakland reported that empty imports rose 13.2%, with 12,692 TEUs passing through port facilities in September, and empty exports increased by 33.7% to 35,337 TEUs.
