Oakland, Calif. \u2013 August 24, 2026: Year-to-date loaded cargo volumes at the Port of Oakland remain essentially flat through July, slightly down 1.5% compared to the same period in 2025. Full exports are up 0.4%, while full imports are down 3.1%.<\/p>\n

The Port handled 179,999 TEUs in July, essentially unchanged from June. Full imports increased 1.7% from June, while full exports declined 7.9%.<\/p>\n

Compared to July 2025, total volume was down 11.4%. Full imports totaled 79,426 TEUs, down 14.0% year over year, while full exports totaled 60,005 TEUs, down 8.5%. Combined laden cargo totaled 139,431 TEUs, down 11.7%.<\/p>\n

Through July, the Port has handled 1,294,664 total TEUs, down 3.8% from the same period in 2025. The decline in total container volume has been driven largely by fewer empty container movements. Empty volume is down 11.4% year to date, compared to the 1.5% decline in laden volume.<\/p>\n

\u201cJuly was a challenging month compared to last year, but our laden volumes remain essentially flat year to date and exports are slightly ahead of 2025,\u201d said Port of Oakland Acting Maritime Director Jason Garben. \u201cDespite uncertainty in the market, we are hearing a positive outlook from our ocean carrier partners for the remainder of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Empty container volume totaled 40,568 TEUs in July, down 10.2% from July 2025.<\/p>\n
