Some experts believe that East Coast ports could siphon some business from West Coast competitors, particularly the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.<\/p>\n<p>To provide context for this possible power shift, the tables below rank U.S. ports in two categories: volume as measured by weight and value of trade.
