POLA executive director Gene Seroka on Wednesday discussed the local impacts of new federal cybersecurity regulations.
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach saw cargo growth continue last month — despite some security and supply chain impacts as result of the Baltimore Bridge crash on March 26.
“We’re deeply concerned about the businesses, the workforce and the many people who are experiencing a severe economic impact because of this incident,” Seroka said. “Despite some disruptions, our nation’s supply chains and its leaders have once again demonstrated resiliency.” Imports at POLA totaled 380,000 TEUs last month, a 19% jump from the same time last year — and POLA moved about 145,000 outbound TEUs, a 47% increase from March 2023.
American employers added more than 300,000 new jobs last month, Seroka said, and recent U.S. Department of Commerce data indicated an increase in retail consumer spending. The Long Beach port also moved 246,464 empty TEUs last month, a nearly 28.9% uptick from the year prior. Both resources serve as crucial tools for the port to detect potential cyberattacks — and, hopefully, put a stop to them before they’re successful.
