2021 Brings Record Numbers for Port of Los Angeles

The USA’s number one port for containerized imports, the Port of Los Angeles has announced record breaking numbers for cargo volumes in 2021.

The port has handled an astonishing 10.7 million TEUs in 2021, increasing by 13% from a previous 2018 record that was set.

Port Executive Director Gene Seroka made the announcement at a “State of the Port” event where he stated, “Decades of development provided the berth space, backland and rail infrastructure to process more cargo than ever before,” he continued. “In 2021, our marine terminal operators and workforce gave us the ability to move that cargo — from the ships to railcars or out the gates on trucks — and for that we are forever grateful to them.”
