Port of Long Beach
The Georgia Ports Authority ended 2014 with growth in all cargo sectors, including a 10.2 percent increase in  TEUs and a 7.4 percent increase in total tonnage. Year-over-year import cargo volume at the largest U.S. containerized import cargo handling ports should grow during most of the first half of 2015 despite West Coast port congestion issues, predicts the monthly Global Port Tracker report released January 9 by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates. Container throughput at the San Pedro Harbor ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles reached a seven-year high in 2014 of nearly 15.2 million TEU. Container volumes through Puget Sound’s largest container ports remained flat in 2014, according to numbers released jointly for the first time by the ports of Seattle and Tacoma.
