Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach set new cargo records
LA TimesA cargo ship leaves the Port of Los Angeles and heads out to sea. The two busiest ports in the U.S., which process about a third of all U.S. cargo containers arriving in the U.S., have seen increased activity after a labor dispute shut down major ports on the East and Gulf coasts for three days in October, recently released figures show. “We anticipate a continued influx of cargo due to robust consumer demand, concerns about potential tariffs and ongoing labor negotiations at ports on the East and Gulf coasts,” Port of Long Beach Chief Executive Mario Cordero said in a statement. “Just as impressive as these new records is the fact that we managed all this cargo with skill and efficiency,” Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka said in a statement. Port of Los Angeles spokesperson Phillip Sanfield said the port’s October results, which will be released next week, will be strong as well.
