Key US port for China imports records best-ever quarter despite trade uncertainty
Port of Los Angeles, the US’ leading gateway for imports from China, had its busiest three-month period on record from July to September
“If there was ever a time for a drum roll, this is it,” said Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, during a media briefing on Friday.
“July through September was our best quarter in port history at almost three million TEUs [twenty-foot equivalent units]. Stretch it back to June, and we moved almost four million container units. That’s the strongest four-month stretch that we’ve ever had,” he added.
