In July, the average dwell time for containers moving by truck through the adjoining Los Angeles and Long Beach seaports remained low and steady compared to previous months, according to the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association trade group.
The average rail-destined cargo dwell time showed an increase compared to the previous month, but is still below highs from earlier this year, PMSA data show.
Cargo traveling through the San Pedro Bay port complex and destined for local delivery via truck spent an average of 2.81 days at port terminals in July, slightly higher than the 2.70 days recorded in June.
Meanwhile, the average rail-destined cargo dwell time for July was 5.66 days, compared to 4.73 days in June.
“In the face of the high volumes experienced by the ports in July, we are pleased to see that truck dwell time remains low, and all stakeholders are working together to improve the improve fluidity of cargo through the ports,” PMSA External Affairs Manager Natasha Villa said.
