The Port of Los Angeles continues to break cargo records each month but the number of ships waiting to deliver goods has dropped dramatically as shippers continue to divert to other ports around the country.

Only 15 cargo ships were waiting for service at the port Aug. 17, down from a record of 109 reached in January.
