    THE Port of Los Angeles container throughput in June increased 27 per cent year on year to 876,430 TEU with laden boxes representing 467,763 TEU of the total.

    The port sent 312,600 TEU of empty containers to factories in China and elsewhere. That far outstripped loaded exports of 96,067 TEU.
