Cargo Traffic to Los Angeles Port Expected to Fall in Week Ending Sept. 27
Sep 12, 2025 11:22 AM

01:58 PM EDT, 09/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Cargo traffic at the Port of Los Angeles is expected to decline in the week ending Sept. 27, according to data from ship tracking system Port Optimizer.

A total of 115,339 20-foot equivalent units, a standardized measure of cargo capacity, will likely reach the port in the week ending Sept. 27, the data showed. That volume reflects a 2% drop on a weekly basis and a 12% decrease annually.

Twenty-one freight vessels are scheduled to arrive at the port in the week ending Sept. 27, Port Optimizer data showed. That's the same as this week and down from 24 in the week ending Sept. 20.

In trade news, US President Donald Trump urged European Union officials to impose tariffs of up to 100% on China and India as part of a strategy to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday, citing an unnamed official.

The US indicated it would impose similar tariffs if the EU followed through on the request, the reports said.

The US Supreme Court said Tuesday it will review on a fast-track schedule whether Trump's worldwide tariffs are legal, media outlets reported.

The justices said in an order they will hear arguments in early November, Bloomberg reported, adding the tariffs remain for now.
