The Port of New York and New Jersey is handling nearly 20% more trade volume than it did pre-Covid, leading it to top California as the nation's busiest port in October. It's the third-consecutive month the Port of New York has beat California's trade hubs including Long Beach and Los Angeles, as more global shipping is redirected to the East Coast. The Port of Los Angeles posted its lowest trade volume in October since 2009. The Port of New York and New Jersey took the top spot in the country for trade the month of October, the third-consecutive month it has topped California's big ports as more cargo volume shifts to the East Coast.
