To July the port of Los Angeles has established own record of traffic of the container for this month
Still a consisting decrease, instead, to Long Beach
August 13, 2019
Last month the traffic enlivened from the port of Long Beach has recorded newly an sensitive decrease being is pairs to 622 thousand teu, with a decrease of the -9,7% on July 2018. The bending is determined is from the reduction of the full traffics of container to the disembarkation and the boarding, than they have been attested respective to 313 thousand teu (- 9.9%) and 112 thousand teu (- 6.8%), is from the contraction of handling of empty containers, that it has totaled 197 thousand teu (- 11.0%).
Explaining because the trend of bending of the traffic is continued also to July, the general manager of the Port of Long Beach, Mario Cordero, referring to the war of the custom offices between the USA and China, it has emphasized that "the commercial dispute is hitting hardly West Coast. They give beyond a year - it has found - the supply chain is placed under pressure and there are more little margins. If the next month the rates will continue to grow as expected - it has evidenced Cordero - the consumers Americans could be confronted with higher prices in the christmas course of the festivity as the societies will unload their costs on consumers".
These motivations, in appearance, seem to hold less however for the other main port of West American Coast, that of Los Angeles, than last month it has established the own new record of containerized trade relatively to the month of July that has been pairs to 912 thousand teu, with a progression of +9.4% on July 2018. The new historical peak for the July month is achieved thanks to the fort increase of handling of empty containers, that they are piled to 274 thousand teu (+20.7%), and to the increase of the full containers to the disembarkation, that +8.7% have been 476 thousand (), increments that they have more than compensated the contraction of the -4,0% of the full traffic of container to the come down boarding to 161 thousand teu.
