The Port of Los Angeles processed 955,907 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in August, capping the busiest three consecutive months in the port’s history.
More than 2.9 million TEUs moved across port docks throughout June, July and August. August volume was 6% above the port’s five-year average for the month and on par with last year.
Volume was driven by resilient consumer demand, early holiday shipments and a broad mix of cargo, port officials said.
“We’ve got good momentum heading into the final months of the year,” said Port Executive Director Gene Seroka. “September is shaping up to be another strong month, and Los Angeles is well positioned to respond as global trade patterns continue to evolve.”
Loaded imports for the month reached 500,302 TEUs, nearly even with last year and 7% above the five-year August average. Loaded exports totaled 115,561 TEUs, down 9% compared with last August. Empty containers totaled 340,044 TEUs, up 4%.
During the first eight months of 2026, the port handled just over 7 million TEUs, 1.5% above the same period last year.
Pacific Harbor Line serves the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles and connects the ports to the national rail network.
