In addition to serving as the labor relations
arm of the West Coast maritime industry, and
processing payroll and benefits for thousands
of longshore workers each week, the Pacific
Maritime Association has come to be known as
a leading resource for reliable information on the
waterfront. The pages that follow contain some
of the most requested data sets, which detail
cargo movement, the labor force and a host of
other maritime matters.
PMA strives to provide timely, reliable information
to many stakeholders, including its members,
customers and workforce, as well as public
officials, news media and other interested third-
parties. Much of the data that follows is supplied
by PMA's strategic analysis group, which
analyzes trends and works to forecast industry
needs and capabilities.
For even more up-to-date information on the
movement of cargo at West Cost ports, see
