US Pacific ports in fightback against Atlantic rivals

摘要

US west coast ports have been gradually regaining the transpacific traffic lost to its Atlantic rivals since the much-documented labour dispute was resolved in February, and there is evidence to suggest that this positive trend continued in August. The two largest ports on the western seaboard Los Angeles and Long Beach reported strong box growth at their respective facilities in August of 4% and 23%, as they continued to bounce back from their disappointing start to the year.
