The Port of Los Angeles had its best-ever July, officials announced Aug. 17, outpacing the same month last year, which was the previous record, by 5%.
Dockworkers and terminal operators moved 935,345 20-foot equivalent units, the industry’s measuring standard, in July, good enough for yet another record-breaking month — a regular occurrence since the second half of 2022. The port has set new record highs in five out of the seven months this year so far.
