Demand for holiday-related goods nudged the Port of Long Beach to its most active September and busiest quarter on record as shippers continued to move goods ahead of a labour contract deadline for seaports on the East and Gulf coasts that resulted in a three-day strike at the start of October. Dockworkers and terminal operators moved 829,499 TEUs last month, up 70 TEUs from the previous record set in September 2023, says an official release. "September also marked the Port’s fourth consecutive monthly year-over-year cargo increase. Imports increased two percent to 416,999 TEUs, exports declined 13 percent to 88,289 TEUs and empty containers moving through the Port rose 1.5 percent to 324,211 TEUs."
