Busy February for LA Port

[ March 13, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

The Port of Los Angeles processed 824,323 TEU in February, marking the second-busiest February in the port’s history and an increase of 3% compared to last year. Retailers and manufacturers brought in cargo ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, when many factories paused production in Asia, said executive director Gene Seroka.  But he noted that while cargo volume remains steady, global developments are creating uncertainty across supply chains, adding: “Even so, manufacturing flows serving the US continue to move, and we’re not seeing disruption to US-bound cargo today.”

February 2026 loaded imports totaled 433,812 TEU, 5% higher than last year. Loaded exports reached 116,633, an increase of 7%.

Two months into the year, the Port of Los Angeles has handled 1,636,324 TEU, 5% less than last year.
