Abstract

The Port of Long Beach broke its all-time record by moving nearly 1 million containers in October, driven by importers diverting cargo to Southern California to avoid delays from a labor dispute and businesses rushing to bring goods before potential tariff increases. The Port of Los Angeles also saw record numbers last quarter. Port officials anticipate a continued influx of cargo due to consumer demand, tariff concerns, and ongoing labor negotiations, with the possibility of a second port strike on the East and Gulf coasts if no agreement is reached by January 15.
