Port of Long Beach records 2nd busiest October amidst congestion

Port of Long Beach, the 2nd busiest container port in the USA, second only to the other San Pedro Bay port of Los Angeles, recorded its 2nd busiest October in history when it handled 789,716 TEUs in October 2021.

This figure is down 2.1% from the Port's strongest October on record which was in October 2020 when it handled 806,603 TEUs. A news release from the Port of Long Beach attributed this drop to limited capacity at the marine terminals which hampered imports at the Port of Long Beach in October, although volumes were still strong amid an ongoing transition to extended operating hours.
