02:16 PM EDT, 10/30/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Cargo traffic at the Port of Los Angeles is expected to rise in the week ending Nov. 14, according to data from ship-tracking system Port Optimizer. A total of 139,278 20-foot equivalent units, a standardized measure of cargo capacity, are projected to reach the port in the week, the data showed. That reflects a 9.7% increase from the previous week and a 51% rise from a year earlier. Twenty-six freight vessels are scheduled to arrive at the port in the week ending Nov. 14, the data showed. That compares with 24 vessels scheduled this week and 23 in the week ending Nov. 7. President Donald Trump has decided to delay tariffs on imported robotics and industrial machinery, directing officials to pursue negotiations with trading partners instead, according to a proclamation filed Wednesday.
