The number of loaded import containers dropped by -13.7% over the year to 627,501 TEUs. Export activity, however, continued to grow, with the June count up by +12.3% over the year to 311,032 TEUs.

At the port of Oakland, it was the same story. The number of import containers declined by -4.0% over the year to June, while the export container count was up by 9.6%. The total number of containers handled at Oakland in June was down by -0.3% over the same period last year to 198,557 TEUs. (Jack Kyser)
