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 Business
Analysis department, 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
the PMA website, www.pmanet.org and follow
