The port of Los Angeles moved more cargo in 2017 than in any time in its 110-year history, thanks to improved supply chain efficiencies.

The port transferred more than 9.3 million teus of cargo, a 5.5% increase over 2016’s record-breaking year, marking the most moved in one year by a Western Hemisphere port.

“Our growth is a direct result of a concerted, multi-year effort by the Port and its many partners to maximize efficiency throughout the supply chain," executive director Gene Seroka said.
