You can see shipping volume here: https://volumes.portoptimizer.com/

If you look at the historical trend, you’ll see lots of months where the volume is down or up 30-50% versus the previous year. Basically it’s extremely volatile. They are actually predicting 44% higher volume versus 2024 for the week of May 18th.

No. It is the Same Port. It’s actually in Long Beach but LA’s name was also attached for the Name Recognition.

It provides Good Union Jobs for retarded alcoholic guys i went to high school with who get paid 150k to do very little work.

Most active port in the USA.

does that week cover ships that left port with ETA before tariffs were scheduled to start? perhaps a rush of extra shipments to stock up on domestic inventory before the tariffs kick in?

Financial Times has been reporting on a shipping volume collapse for weeks and said the ports are "emptying out" just yesterday. Not a known outlet for shitdem or ccp propaganda afaik.

Everything the lib media says is a lie. Everything. This is not some kind of meme. They lie about everything, every single thing, no exceptions, everything they say is a lie

People of any demographic or political affiliation who still believe anything they say are just objectively fucking stupid

The claim that there are no container ships at the Port of Seattle appears to be false. Recent data shows active traffic, with reports confirming three ships docked on April 28, 2025, and more scheduled through early May.

The Northwest Seaport Alliance noted 15 additional ships expected soon after, and port traffic was up 7.3% in the prior 30 days. However, concerns about future tariff impacts could affect cargo volumes, which might explain the commissioner's statement during a temporary lull. Overall, evidence points to ongoing activity at the port.

Of course it’s fake news. If inbound cargo actually dropped 50% the market would plummet. Even left-wing snopes deemed the “port of Seattle is empty” stories false: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/chinese-cargo-seattle-tariffs/

I guess containers magically materialized in the Port of LA once Trump made the deal with China. Maybe no shortages after all?

i had a (former, at this point, sadly) friend chimp out at me early on in the trump administration when trump went to california and ordered them to divert water from some dam to compensate for the water needed to fight the forest fires (remember that one?!?). he told me that "millions of people are going to die now" from "famine" because farmers won't have that water to grow crops

we are now not friends anymore :( . it remains to be seen how many millions of americans will die from famine (sic) in the current year of 2025 in the united states of america. we'll see what unfolds
