The Port of Long Beach reports container movements last month fell to 546,805 TEUs, a 16 percent drop from September 2015 the port says was mainly due to the Hanjin bankruptcy. The Port of Oakland’s export rally continued through September, with the TEU count up 10 percent compared to September 2015. It was the eighth increase in nine months and the first double-digit jump since February. "Notable increases" in wheat, corn, and soybean exports from the U.S. Great Lakes ports of Duluth, Milwaukee and Toledo are among the September traffic highlights reported by the U.S. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation. "The good news," said Seaway Administrator Betty Sutton, "is that we anticipate that trend to continue for the remaining three months of the 2016 navigation season."
