The Port of Los Angeles reported processing 857,764 TEU in February, marking the busiest February on record for the nation’s top port for containerized imports.
The total volume, which is up more than 7.3% compared to the same month last year, shows continued improvements in “container terminal velocity” at the port, giving some hope that marine terminals can be cleared before ship arrivals pick back up in the coming months. It also marks back-to-back monthly records to start 2022, reversing three months of year-over-year declines to end 2021.
