Dive Brief:

Ocean shippers are moving quickly to take advantage of the current “window of stability,” pushing to speed cargo through the supply chain as conditions allow, Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka said during a June 16 media briefing.

In May, the port processed 840,165 TEUs, up 17% year over year, driven by a burst in volumes as shippers navigate trade policy uncertainty, according to a June 16 press release.

“Our strong May performance reflects the resilience of the American consumer and the ability of businesses to adapt in a continuously changing environment,” Seroka said in the release.
