The United States’ top port for containerized imports from Asia reported its best February on record as the nation’s economy continues to bounce back from the pandemic. The Port of Los Angeles said it processed 799,315 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) last month for a 47% jump compared to February 2020 when the world was just starting to feel the economic impact of COVID-19’s unrelenting spread. Last month marked seven consecutive months of year-over-year increases and the strongest February on record for the Port of Los Angeles. “One year ago global trade slowed to a crawl as the COVID-19 pandemic first hit China and then spread worldwide,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. ”Today, we are in the seventh month of an unparalleled import surge, driven by unprecedented demands by American consumers.”
