02:02 PM EDT, 08/07/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Cargo traffic at the Port of Los Angeles is expected to fall in the week ending Aug. 22, according to data from ship-tracking system Port Optimizer.

A total of 139,303 20-foot equivalent units, a standardized measure of cargo capacity, are projected to reach the port in the week, the data showed. That volume reflects a 1.2% decrease from the previous week and a 5.9% rise from a year earlier.

Twenty-two freight vessels are scheduled to arrive at the port in the week ending Aug. 22, the data showed. That compares with 21 vessels scheduled this week and 26 in the week ending Aug. 15.

The White House on Thursday imposed a series of price floors and a 15% tariff on products made from polysilicon, the raw material used in semiconductors and solar panels.
