Cargo continues to flow into Los Angeles despite some of the COVID lockdowns in China, Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka says. “The situation in China may lead to a lull in volume with a fairly quick bounceback once the lockdowns end,” said Seroka. Los Angeles reported its second-busiest April in its 115-year-plus history, moving 887,357 20-foot-equivalent containers, even as it saw a 6.3% decline from April 2021’s record of 946,966 TEUs.
