Los Angeles tops 1m teu in July, eclipsing Covid-era high
- Throughput totalled 1,019,837 teu, including 543,728 teu of imports, up 16% vs June and 8% year on year
- Los Angeles handled 106 vessels last month, 30% above the five-year average, including 16 ships with capacity of over 13,000 teu and 11 extra loaders
- Volumes for 2025 have peaked, with declines starting this month, but ‘cargo is not going to fall off a cliff’
US importers brought in holiday goods early this year in response to tariffs, leading to an unusually high peak in July, according to Port of Los Angeles executive director Gene Seroka
