The Port of Los Angeles experienced its second-best February on record, driven by ongoing cargo frontloading as companies hedge against tariffs, according to Executive Director Gene Seroka. While the port saw a 2.5% year-over-year increase in processed cargo, Seroka predicts a potential 10% drop in volume in the latter half of the year, especially for larger imports. He noted that while cargo from China has decreased from 57% to 43%, shippers are diversifying sources. The port is prepared for volume surges thanks to advanced cargo tracking technology.
