Cargo volume moved through the\u00a0Port of Long Beach<\/a> in October declined 14.9% from the same month last year, dropping to 839,671 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) from 987,191.<\/p>\n

During the month, imports declined 17.6% year-over-year to 401,915 TEUs, and exports decreased 11.5% to 99,817 TEUs. Empty containers moving through the port were down 12.6% to 337,940 TEUs, port officials said in a press release.<\/p>\n

Despite the monthly decline in traffic, the port’s total volume of cargo handled through October is up 4.1% over the same period last year. The port attributes the increase in total cargo moved to retailers ordering shipments early and stocking warehouses before the United States’ reciprocal tariffs were implemented in April.<\/p>\n

The Port of Long Beach is served by the Pacific Harbor Line<\/a>, which interchanges with BNSF Railway <\/a>and Union Pacific Railroad<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rail News Home Intermodal 11\/12\/2025 Rail News: Intermodal span { min-width: 0 !important } ]]]]>]]> The port moved…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-49818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49818","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=49818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
