The Port of Oakland starts 2025 with growth in both imports and exports. Loaded container volume recorded 146,187 TEUs (twenty-foot containers) in January 2025. This is an 8.5% increase over January 2024, when 144,405 TEUs passed through the Port.
“Strong import growth reflects the resilience of Northern California’s economy and the confidence cargo owners have in our gateway,” said Port of Oakland Maritime Director Bryan Brandes. “Export volumes remain steady, highlighting the continued global demand for U.S. agricultural and manufactured goods. This growth is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of our labor force, terminal operators, and supply chain partners. We appreciate their commitment and will continue working together to maintain efficiency and expand capacity to support our customers.”
