Still working through a backlog of vessels and containers, the Port of Long Beach moved more cargo last month than in any February in its 112-year history, officials announced Friday.
Dockworkers and terminal operators moved 796,560 20-foot-equivalent units—the standard measure of a shipping container—last month, a 3.2% increase over the same month in 2021, which was a historic high. Imports increased 4.4% to 390,335 TEUs, while exports decreased 1.2% to 117,935 TEUs.
The number of empty containers moving through the port increased 3.5% to 288,290 TEUs.
