THE saw its cargo volumes slip in March 2.9 per cent to 193,341 TEU because of annual Chinese New Year factory shutdowns, reports American Shipper.
Throughput of loaded import containers dropped 1.9 per cent year on year to 66,302 TEU, while loaded exports were down 0.5 per cent to 81,955 TEU.
"Oakland exports remained virtually unchanged after three consecutive months of growth. China's restrictions on recyclable commodities such as waste paper contributed to the export growth pause," said the port authority.
Oakland also handled 45,084 TEU of empty containers during March, an 8.1 per cent year-on-year decline as outbound empties plummeted 13.8 per cent to 24,984 TEU and inbound empties came in at 20,100 TEU.
The port's recently announced five-year "Growth with Care" plan also calls for further reductions in diesel particulate emissions from trucks and port terminal equipment, as well as calling on container carriers to make Oakland their first port of call in the US.
The five-year plan calls for promoting new transloading and reefer capabilities, maximising Oakland's participation in newly permitted rice exports to China, recapturing lost volumes, and exploring bulk and breakbulk cargo opportunities.
