The Port of Los Angeles moved more cargo in 2017 than in any time in the port’s 110-year history, racking up 9.3 million TEUs.
This represents a 5.5 percent increase over 2016’s record-breaking year when the port handled 8.8 million TEUs.
As informed, it is the most cargo moved annually by a Western Hemisphere port.
“2017 was a year beyond expectations but it was not by chance. Our growth is a direct result of a concerted, multi-year effort by the port and its many partners to maximize efficiency throughout the supply chain,” Gene Seroka, Port of Los Angeles Executive Director, commented.
