Long Beach’s green plan

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.

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.

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.

TRAC man takes over as Chairman at IICL; new CEO at Port Tanjung Pelepas, Florida port executive moves north to Baltimore; Los Angeles promotions; ITCO appoints new president; EV Cargo’s Palletforce promotes COO; trucker takes logistics role at PallEx Group; new departments created in Port of Long Beach; and other appointments

The Port of Long Beach will receive US$283M from the federal government to assist in building what it calls “America’s Green Gateway”
