LA Port Sets Record -- Yes, Some Issues With Long Beach Port -- But Still -- Absolutely Nothing To Do With the Bakken

Link here to Carpe Diem.

The Port of San Pedro (aka the Port of Los Angeles) hit export container record for 2011.

There are some issues affecting the Port of Long Beach (right next to PoLA) but still.
"The Port of Los Angeles set a new standard for exports in 2011, becoming the first harbor in the nation to ship more than 2 million containers carrying U.S. goods to customers overseas, according to year-end statistics released by port officials.

The nation's busiest seaport moved 176,531 export containers in December, enough to kick up its 2011 total to 2.11 million containers. That broke the port's former record of 1.84 million export containers set in 2010.
Speaks volumes.
