THE Port of Oakland handled a total of 209,883 TEU in July, up 1,6 per cent year on year, said port authorities.

July import volumes rose 5.4 per cent year on year, with the surge coming at the start of the peak season, when shippers transport additional cargo ahead of holiday and back-to-school sales.
揜etailers have been forecasting strong peak season import numbers this year and so far, they're right," said port maritime director John Driscoll.
Overall, the port moved 50,227 empties last month compared to 48,519 during the same month last year.
