The Port of Los Angeles handled 10.24 million TEUs of containers in 2025, up 0.56% from the previous calendar year, cementing its position as America's busiest seaport for the 26th consecutive year and delivering the third-best performance in the port's 118-year history. Imports of loaded containers accounted for 5.32 million TEUs, down 0.75%, and exports, 1.43 million TEUs, down 4.35%.
Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka announced the milestone during the port's 11th annual State of the Port address last week. Seroka outlined a major infrastructure push under a Build Bigger and Build Smarter framework, anchored by plans for Pier 500, which would become the port's first new container terminal in a generation. Additional priorities include the development of a maritime support facility on Terminal Island, expansion at Fenix Marine Services Terminal on Pier 300, and wharf and rail upgrades at LA TIL Container Terminal in the West Basin.
In addition, Los Angeles will expand its booking system for trucks to Long Beach to be able to share data among the state of California's five major container ports.
Los Angeles reported the lowest emissions per TEU of any port worldwide, supported by a $412 million EPA Clean Ports grant and an additional $230 million in non-federal funding to accelerate deployment of zero-emission cargo-handling equipment.
