01:46 PM EDT, 05/08/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Cargo traffic at the Port of Los Angeles is expected to fall in the week ending May 23, according to data from the ship-tracking system Port Optimizer.

A total of 103,650 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 roughly 14% decrease from the previous week and a 0.7% rise from a year earlier.

Eighteen freight vessels are scheduled to arrive at the port in the week ending May 23, the data showed. That is fewer than the 19 vessels during this week and 21 scheduled for the week ending May 16.
