Long Beach Port Traffic Falls Again The total number of cargo containers shipped through the Port of Long Beach dropped 27 percent in April compared with a year ago. But the downward trend in cargo shipping is showing signs of a rebound, according to figures released Wednesday. The port moved 408,705 TEUs, or 20-foot cargo container units, last month, down from 556,585 TEUs, the port reported in April 2008. However, cargo container shipments have steadily increased since hitting a low in February when Long Beach moved 318, 042 TEUs. March saw a bump to 374, 131 TEUs, which jumped again by almost 35,000 more cargo containers moved in April. The Port of Los Angeles has not yet reported container figures for April, but figures for March showed an increase. Source: Los Angeles Business Journal |
