Port of Long Beach’s container volumes remain steady in first 10 months of the year

The Port of Long Beach has moved over 8.2m teu in the first 10 months of the year, up 4% compared to 2024, largely due to retailers ordering shipments early and stocking warehouses in anticipation of the spring tariffs.

Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero and COO Noel Hacegaba noted that although shifting trade policies have brought uncertainty to consumers and the supply chain, cargo has continued to move smoothly at the nation’s second-busiest port.

Hacegaba said: “Even in the midst of the nation’s longest government shutdown, cargo continues to move smoothly through our port and across the nation’s supply chain.
