Good vibes in San Pedro Bay
The Port of Long Beach is keeping the pace. July’s throughput of almost 786,000 teu is just ahead (+0.13%) of the record achieved in the same month last year.
While imports declined by 1.8% to 376,000 teu, exports went down by 0.5% to 109,000 teu. Yet, empty containers moved through the port were up 2.8% to more than 300,000 teu. From January to July 2022, the port moved almost 5,794,000 teu, 4.6% more than in the same period in 2021. With the July result, the Californian port has broken monthly records in six out of the last seven months.
