The Port of Long Beach announced a 30% increase of total cargo containers traded through the harbor in September, compared to September of 2009. The massive leap forward is a sign that business is quickly picking up at the port after a very slow period last year that has began to recover slowly but is now improving rapidly.
It marks the tenth consecutive month of cargo growth, and trade at the Port of Long Beach is now at its highest level since the beginning of the recession in 2008.
