Let's break down the news about San Pedro Bay Port Complex and Port Houston:
After some labor agreement magic last August, it's been one big win after another—Los Angeles and Long Beach are surpassing all records, and even with a soft January, Houston bounced back in February.
Los Angeles gained 64% in loaded imports, while Long Beach saw a 29.4% rise. But it's not all smooth sailing; Long Beach faced a 21.1% dip in loaded export TEUs. As for Houston- general cargo is up, but we see a 96% drop in steel exports.

As the ports ramp up efficiency and capacity, everything points to an exciting Q2: they're more than ready to meet and exceed the freight industry's needs.
