(JUST THE NEWS) – After last year's record cargo year, the Port of Los Angeles has made significant progress in clearing backlogs spurred by the pandemic-induced supply chain crunch. But concerns now loom among officials about possible disruptions stemming from a potential rail strike leading up to the holiday season.
The Port of Los Angeles saw cargo volume recede last month – a stark contrast to last year, when September 2021 ranked as the port’s busiest September on record. Port Executive Director Gene Seroka told reporters Wednesday that the port saw a 21% drop in the amount of cargo handled this September compared to the same time last year.
Seroka also shared that the port’s ship backlog has “receded dramatically” – an aspect that captured nationwide attention last fall and stoked concerns about the state of the global supply chain.
