May 15, 2026 11:34 AM

02:14 PM EDT, 05/15/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Cargo traffic at the Port of Los Angeles is expected to rise in the week ending May 30, according to data from the ship-tracking system Port Optimizer.

A total of 110,788 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 15% increase from the previous week and a 60% rise from a year earlier.

Twenty freight vessels are scheduled to arrive at the port in the week ending May 30, the data showed. That is the same number of vessels during this week and more than the 18 scheduled for the week ending May 23.

The Trump administration has postponed its plan to suspend tariffs on beef imports, which would have allowed more imported beef into the US, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday.
