The northern California hub said the weaker total reflected typical seasonal slowing and ongoing adjustments in global shipping patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globaltrademag.com\/port-of-oakland-container-volume-rises-in-october-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Port of Oakland Container Volume Rises in October 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The chaotic tariff and policy resets that marked the Trump administration\u2019s trade war with China in 2025 led to operational shifts by ocean carriers, with schedule changes, blankings and consolidations that have seen increasing vessel diversions away from some West Coast ports, such as Oakland, to the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert in western Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Oakland loaded exports totaled 68,824 TEUs, up 3.3% year-over-year and 4% from October on strong agricultural and refrigerated shipments. Loaded imports reached 73,092 TEUs, down 9.3% year-over-year and 11.1% from October on falling import demand on the eastbound trans-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExport strength continues to be a key driver for Oakland,\u201d said Port of Oakland Maritime Director Bryan Brandes. \u201cEven as the market recalibrates, our exporters are moving goods consistently, and efficient terminal operations are supporting balanced cargo flows and reliable service for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All loaded container volumes totaled 141,915 TEUs, off 3.6% year-over-year and relatively unchanged from the previous month.<\/p>\n<p>Empty container volumes, an indicator of future import traffic, fell to 32,324 TEUs, a decrease of 6.4% year-over-year and 6.3% from October. The port cited carrier equipment repositioning rather than changes in loaded cargo demand for the declines.<\/p>\n<p>November saw vessel calls fall 8.4% year-over-year to 76, and off 11.6% from October, as carriers continued to deploy larger vessels and consolidate services.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indexbox.io\/blog\/port-of-oakland-reports-november-2025-cargo-decline-amid-export-growth\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IndexBox Market Intelligence Platform\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Port of Oakland handled 174,239 twenty foot equivalent units (TEUs) in November, a 4.1% year-over-year decline and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[36575,36576,143,145,144,36577],"class_list":{"0":"post-123651","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oakland","8":"tag-global-logistics","9":"tag-global-trade","10":"tag-oakland","11":"tag-oakland-headlines","12":"tag-oakland-news","13":"tag-supply-chain-management"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
