The Port of Long Beach processed 779,331 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in June, up 10.6% from June 2025, marking the port's third-busiest June on record.
Year over year, June imports increased 11% to 387,025 TEUs; exports dropped 1.3% to 86,446 TEUs; and empty containers moving through the port were up 14.1% to 305,860 TEUs, port officials said in a press release. Through first-half 2026, the port has moved 4,829,578 TEUs, up 1.7% from the same period in 2025, which is the port's busiest full year on record.
"These results demonstrate the continued confidence cargo owners and supply chain partners have in us, the resilience of the supply chain and the continued demand for goods moving through our gateway," said Port of Long Beach CEO Noel Hacegaba during a media briefing. "Businesses across the shipping and logistics industry continue planning for a range of scenarios as they work to build more resilient and diversified supply chains."
With temporary 10% import tariffs scheduled to expire on July 24, shippers are moving cargo ahead of further trade policy changes. This has led to an early peak traffic season and a surge in trade, Hacegaba said.
"Businesses are preparing for volatility, not certainty," he added. "Retailers are intent on restocking shelves while keeping prices as low as possible, helping to drive the frontloading we’re seeing right now."
The port is served by Pacific Harbor Line, which interchanges with BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad.
