The port complex of Los Angeles and Long Beach, already the nation’s busiest, will move unprecedented amounts of cargo in 2022, supported by a resilient consumer, according to the chiefs of the maritime hubs.
“I think we’ll set records again this year, albeit we’ll see a softening for the import side,” Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said in an interview at his office on Wednesday. He cited a slowdown from the pandemic-driven boom in consumer durable goods, such as household appliances -- “but I’m still confident we’ll come out on the plus side.”
