March containerised cargo volumes at the Port of Los Angeles increased 17.3 per cent compared with the same period last year, the second-highest month in the port’s history
The port handled a total of 791,863 TEUs, making it the second busiest single month, behind only October 2006 when the Port moved 800,063 TEUs.
For the first three months of 2015, overall volumes (1,823,854 TEUs) were down 5 per cent compared to the same period in 2014.
”March container volumes were robust as our terminals worked aggressively to clear out the backlog of vessels,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “The number of ships waiting at anchor has reduced significantly, labour levels are strong and our container terminals are extremely active.'
