Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka announced that the port is projected to process over 900,000 container units in both June and July 2026, characterizing the period as a window of stability for import flows. This follows robust May volumes of nearly 840,000 TEUs, surpassed only during pandemic surge years. Year-to-date container volume has exceeded 4.1 million TEUs, about 1% ahead of both the prior year and the five-year average. Port Optimizer data tracking import bookings destined for Los Angeles forecasts continued strong June performance, supported by collaboration among terminal operators, truckers, and rail partners. No significant congestion or operational slowdown was identified, and investments continue in harbor maintenance and seismic resiliency upgrades funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
