Long Beach looks forward

Ports of Singapore, Los Angeles, and Long Beach complete a study on energy demand requirements for vessels operating on the their green corridor through to 2050.

In March 2024, Port of Long Beach saw 8.3% TEU growth, with imports up 8.4%, exports down 21.3%, and empty containers rising 28.9%.

The combined effect of the Panama drought and the conflict in the Middle East on transit times declined, and volume for the Gulf Coast ports remained constant.

The planned development of a dedicated workforce training facility for the San Pedro Bay port complex of Los Angeles (LA) and Long Beach (LB) has moved a stage nearer with the publication of an Initial Study/Notice of Preparation (IS/NOP) document.

Ports on the east of the US face a triple challenge from the drought in Panama, the Suez Canal security issue, and the ILA’s determination to fight automation.

Mario Cordero, CEO of the Port of Long Beach, has pledged to make the port one of the first zero-emissions ports in the world.
