PierPass Monthly Transaction Data
Each month we provide a summary of the latest transaction data from marine terminal operators (MTOs) at the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach. Below please find data from the month of March 2016.
In March, turn times for the OffPeak shift remained within two minutes of the Peak shift, as they have done consistently. The split between Peak and OffPeak cargo also remained near 50/50.
Average in-terminal turn time:
44.3 minutes day shift
46.4 minutes night shift
For comparison, the average in-terminal turn time in February was 46.3 minutes for the day shift and 48.6 minutes for the night shift.
In-terminal turn time is the average amount of time a truck is inside a terminal to complete a transaction. Truck activity information is derived from RFID data, and excludes lunch hour, breaks and trouble tickets. Turn time at individual terminals will vary depending on time of day and other factors. For more information about turn times and how we measure them, please see our Q&A at http://goo.gl/PiOjBp.
Average daily moves per truck in March:
5 or more moves per day: 3%
4 moves per day: 6%
3 moves per day: 18%

Gate moves during Peak and OffPeak shifts in March:
Total Peak gate moves: 332,742 (49%)

A gate move occurs when a container enters or leaves a marine terminal via the truck gates. Peak shifts are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. OffPeak shifts are all other times and are considered exempt from the Traffic Mitigation Fee.
Note:
Many terminals were closed on for one or two shifts on Cesar Chavez’s Birthday Holiday.
