“With improved fluidity on our docks and fewer vessels waiting to enter the port, our terminals are processing cargo at record levels. Yet we’re not taking anything for granted. We’re using our Port Optimizer data to find developing issues and adjust to market demands,” commented POLA executive director, Gene Seroka, who announced the latest cargo data during a media briefing.

March container volumes represent the third-best month ever in the Californian port’s 115-year history, just behind the 1,012,048 TEU recorded last May and 980,729 TEU in October 2020.
