That was 2007.

Here's a more recent list, from 2013. It's on Wikipedia, but the data is from the American Association of Port Authorities.

South Louisiana is #1, Houston is #2.


5 of the top 12 are in Louisiana, and yet this state is still a shithole... dammit.

2004?

2015: 5,471,639 TEUs
The Port of Los Angeles has been at the top of the list for several years running, even after taking a 7.4 percent dive in TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units, the unit of the capacity of a container ship). The number one container port and leader in container volume and cargo value sees furniture, auto parts, electronics, and plastics come in and sends out paper, waste paper, pet and animal feed, scrap metal, fabrics, and soybeans.

You're comparing 2 different things. The port of south LA is the busiest in terms of tonnage.

14th in the world, 1st in the US

So its not an actual port its just a region, because THE Port of LA is the busiest port in the country by far.

Cinco De Mayo is not an American holiday!!!! It's a Mexican celebration. Nothing to do with America.

The busiest in terms of how much product is going through is south LA by far. Houston is second.

You're using TEUs which just means the container.

I'll let others call you an idiot for the other things.

Gumbo is, unequivocally, a stew. It is a stew in that okra is supposed to be stewed. It is a stew in that roux is used to thicken and flavor the juices from the meats and vegetables. It is a stew in that it is commonly served with a mashed potato product.

That’s almost exactly backwards. It is a regional celebration in Mexico which was co-opted by American beer companies to create demand for their product. That plan worked beautifuly. For another example, see St Patrick’s Day.

With all this tonnage of cargo containers coming through south LA, would anyone know if some tonnage of coolers are scheduled for arrival from China anytime soon? Asking for a friend
