The Port of Hueneme saw annual revenue fall roughly 20 percent last fiscal year, a reflection of its heavy reliance on vehicle imports. … Port officials say they saw business pick up in the first quarter of this fiscal year, but it still trailed the same period last year by 12 to 13 percent. The projections are flat through 2012, and the focus is on getting the numbers back to where they were in 2006, when cargo totaled 1.4 million tons. It now stands at slightly more than 1 million for the most recent year.
