The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach announced last week that 2022 was their second-busiest year on record.
Los Angeles logged 9.9 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs), down 7% from 2021 volumes, according to the port's website.
That number also marks the 23rd-consecutive year that the port has been ranked the busiest container port in the United States, port officials said in a press release.
Long Beach moved 9.13 million TEUs in 2022, down 2.7% from 2021. The port is the "leading export port for a second consecutive year for loaded TEUs," Long Beach port officials said in a press release.
Both ports are served by Pacific Harbor Line, a subsidiary of Anacostia Rail Holdings.
