Cargo Traffic to Los Angeles Port Expected to Fall in Week Ending Aug. 29
Aug 14, 2026 11:31 AM

02:08 PM EDT, 08/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Cargo traffic at the Port of Los Angeles is expected to fall in the week ending Aug. 29, according to data from ship-tracking system Port Optimizer.

A total of 136,528 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 6.1% decrease from the previous week and an 18% rise from a year earlier.

Twenty-three freight vessels are scheduled to arrive at the port in the week ending Aug. 29, the data showed. That compares with 23 vessels scheduled this week and 25 in the week ending Aug. 22.

The Trump administration is imposing a 100% tariff on imports of certain unmanned aircraft systems and their components, Bloomberg reported Thursday.

Smaller drones without national security capabilities will face a 25% tariff, while drones from countries with trade agreements with the US will be subject to rates set under those agreements, Bloomberg reported.
