Complete June 2025 TEU Numbers

Contrary to several media reports, the Port of New York/New Jersey (PNYNJ) did not supplant the Port of Long Beach as the nation’s second busiest container port in June. After the ports released their container traffic statistics for June, the Southern California port in actuality handled 704,403 loaded and empty TEUs that month, while PNYNJ processed a total of 687,671 TEUs.

All told, the San Francisco Bay port handled 1,142,876 loaded and empty TEUs in the first half of this year, 8.9% fewer TEUs than it had handled during the same period in 2019. 

Oregon’s Port of Portland discharged 4,110 TEUs in June, the most in any previous June since 2022. However, outbound traffic (3,698 TEUs) was down from the Junes in both 2024 and 2023 and just 27 TEUs higher than in June 2022. Container traffic through the Columbia River port continued to underperform expectations since container trade resumed in 2020. U.S. Commerce Department trade statistics showing a 29.6% year-over-year drop in the dollar value of containerized exports shipped from the Port of Portland in this year’s first half and an even more precipitous 66.1% plunge since the first six months of 2023.

The Northwest Seaport Alliance Ports of Tacoma and Seattle handled 94,364 laden import TEUs in June, down sharply both from a year earlier (-27.3%) and from June 2019 (-23.1%). Export loads (47,293 TEUs) were likewise down year-over-year by 8.4% and by 38.2% from June 2019.

Outbound loads (11,625 TEUs) were 0.5% higher than a year earlier but still 23.8% below the volume handled in June 2019. Total container traffic through the British Columbia port through the first half of this year (435,859 TEUs) was down 20.8% from the volume handled in the first six months of 2019.

At South Carolina’s Port of Charleston, the 97,570 inbound loads the port handled in June were down 7.9% from the year before but up 13.4% from June 2019. Outbound loads (56,849 TEUs) were down 8.9% year-over-year and down by 14.5% from June 2019. YTD, total container moves (1,310,197 TEUs) were up by 8.5% from the same period in 2019.

Historic USWC Container Traffic by Weights and Values

Exhibit 6 and Exhibit 7 display the latest (June 2025) U.S. West Coast shares of container trade through the mainland U.S. ports with which USWC ports compete. The data are derived from import and export documentation provided to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. For a broader perspective, we compare the most recent month for which data are available with the same month in the preceding year, in pre-pandemic 2019, and a decade earlier. For those who are inclined to add up the numbers, the USWC totals in these two exhibits include international container traffic moving through smaller West Coast ports like San Diego, Hueneme, Portland, and Everett, in addition to the container figures from the USWC Big Five ports.

Exhibit 6 shows an appreciable year-over-year decline in the USWC share of all containerized import tonnage flowing into mainland U.S. ports in June. The one positive showing is that the Port of Oakland and the Northwest Seaport Alliance Ports of Tacoma and Seattle saw slightly higher shares of U.S. containerized exports from the preceding June.

By contrast, Exhibit 7 shows that a tariff-induced surge in imports has led to a significant year-over-year gain in the U.S. West Coast share of U.S. containerized trade involving trading partners in East Asia. The numbers further demonstrate the extent to which the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have been capturing a larger portion of containerized shipments through USWC ports. The two Southern California ports increased their collective share of containerized import tonnage from East Asia by 2.4 percentage points, while the Ports of Oakland and the NWSA ports both sustained declines.
