The figure represents the port\u2019s second-busiest January on record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The volume declined 11% from January 2025. Last January remains the port\u2019s best January and second-busiest month in its 115-year history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Imports fell 13.1% to 409,818 TEUs. Exports rose 0.8% to 99,478 TEUs. Empty containers declined 11.5% to 338,470 TEUs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Port CEO Dr. Noel Hacegaba said Long Beach is leading the nation in trade. \u201cWe are providing a safe harbor in the sea of tariff and trade uncertainty,\u201d he stated. The port has the capacity, infrastructure and workforce to move goods quickly and reliably.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Harbor Commission President Frank Colonna said the numbers show Long Beach continues to be the port of choice for customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The decline follows a record 2025 when the port moved 9.9 million TEUs. Uncertainty prompted shippers to move goods before tariffs and reciprocal tariffs were implemented last spring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Hacegaba anticipates continued uncertainty following the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s ruling last week. The court declared two-thirds of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">\u201cWhile this decision ruled on the legality of the IEEPA tariffs, it did little to remove the uncertainty across the global supply chain,\u201d Hacegaba said. Customers seek clarity on whether tariffs already paid will be refunded. Consumers seek relief from higher prices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Hacegaba announced the figures during the first of his monthly Supply Chain Insight virtual media briefings on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Port of Long Beach moved 847,765 TEUs in January 2026.
