The Port of Los Angeles handled 752,520 20-foot-equivalent units in March, down 3% from volume in the same month in 2025.
Despite the seasonal slowdown associated with Lunar New Year factory shutdowns in China, cargo flow in March was solid, Port of LA Executive Director Gene Seroka said in a media briefing. Unsettled tariff policies, inflation and economic impacts of the conflict in the Middle East are weighing on consumers and shippers, he added.
Loaded imports in March totaled 380,733 TEUs, down 1%, and loaded exports totaled 132,129, up 7%. The port also processed 239,658 empty container units, down 11%.
In first-quarter 2026, the port processed 2,388,843 TEUs, down 4.6% year over year. However, volume was consistent with the port's average Q1 performance over the past five years, port officials said in a press release.
Pacific Harbor Line serves the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles and connects the ports to the national rail network.
