Port of Oakland on track for record cargo volume despite tariff battle

The Port of Oakland is on track in 2018 for its third straight year of record container cargo volume despite a tit-for-tat tariff spat between the U.S. and China, port officials said recently.

However, the consensus of experts at the quarterly meeting of the port’s Efficiency Task Force is that cargo volume is spiking now, but could drop by January, according to port officials.
