n 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.
