U.S. ports report record July container volumes driven by early holiday shipping, with Los Angeles and Long Beach leading gains.
U.S. ports are breaking records for this time of the year, fueled by an earlier-than-usual peak shipping season and the influx of back-to-school and holiday goods. July saw major gains across key ports as it gears up for the year-end rush.
“We’ve seen an influx of year-end holiday goods...to avoid any risk of delay later in the year,” said Executive Director Gene Seroka.
CEO Mario Cordero noted, “We’re in a strong position heading into the peak shipping season...cargo continues to move efficiently.”
Executive Director Roger Guenther said, “Our double-digit growth...underscores Port Houston’s resilience.”
“The South Carolina market is ripe for companies to put new investment in the ground,” remarked SC Ports CEO Barbara Melvin.
