Following September’s all-time monthly record, October marked the first time the Port has surpassed 1 million TEUs in consecutive months. The Port has now reached the million-TEU mark three times in 2026. From June through October, the Port processed nearly 5 million TEUs, the strongest five-month stretch in its history.
