 Anche nel porto di Long Beach, come nel vicino Los Angeles, il traffico container nello scorso febbraio è risultato in forte crescita. Sono stati infatti movimentati 362.983 teu, con un incremento del 16,4% rispetto al febbraio 2001. Si tratta del maggiore incremento mensile registrato negli ultimi 20 mesi. Secondo il direttore esecutivo del porto, Richard D. Steinke, il consistente aumento di traffico è dovuto al fatto che «i commercianti stanno riempiendo i loro magazzini e i consumatori americani continuano a comprare poiché le notizie dell'economia migliorano». «Tuttavia - ha aggiunto - dobbiamo essere ancora cauti, perché il 16% di incremento è riferito al nostro mese più basso degli ultimi anni».
Gli sbarchi sono ammontati a 202.276 teu, con un aumento del 30,4% rispetto al febbraio 2001, il più elevato degli ultimi tre anni. Gli imbarchi sono stati pari a 83.333 teu, con una crescita del 10,3%, la più elevata negli ultimi 20 mesi. Il numero di container vuoti è stato di 77.374 unità da venti piedi, con una flessione del 4,5%.
