The Port of Los Angeles expects a busy summer shipping season again this year as retailers restock depleted inventory, the port director said on Feb. 17.

“Quarter two is known as slack season, but retailers continue to tell us they’re going to focus that time ... on replenishing these inventory levels,” Port of LA Executive Director Gene Seroka said during a news conference.
