Port of Long Beach
Puretech Systems, Inc.
Port Traffic Metrics: Baltimore, Long Beach, New York/New Jersey, Virginia
Continuing last year’s record numbers, the public marine terminals in the Port of Baltimore posted more records in January. Reduced economic activity in Asia associated with the Lunar New Year contributed to lower February container volumes at the Port of Long Beach. Container volumes at the Port of New York & Jersey hit monthly highs in January of 296,432 lifts or 517,668 TEUs, for an increase of 8.3 percent compared to January 2016. The Port of Virginia® reports container throughput at its Hampton Roads marine terminals totaled some 2.8 million TEUs through February of the fiscal year that began last July 1, a 6.9 percent increase from the comparable period of FY 2015-16.
