Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero said April numbers will show trade flows coming to the U.S. West Coast are continuing to strengthen.

Long Beach, Calif.-based startup Stax Engineering has deployed pollution-capturing tech at multiple ports for the first time, servicing ships at the ports of L.A., Long Beach and Oakland.

Port of Long Beach officials were upbeat about prospects for the facility even as its 2023 performance was down 12.2% year-over-year.

The Port of Long Beach will improve and expand several roadways within its Pier B railyard, officials announced on Nov. 3, with a $52.6 million grant from the Department of Transportation.

Container volumes trended mostly into negative territory in August at facilities along the Pacific, Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts, with a modest gain at the Port of Los Angeles.

At least one terminal at the Port of Los Angeles canceled some cargo operations June 5 as disruptions that hit several key U.S. West Coast ports last week appear to continue.

The pandemic’s cargo crush pushed the Los Angeles and Long Beach complex close to the breaking point, allowing ports from New York-New Jersey to Houston to grow their market share.

Weeks after the California Air Resources Board approved a rule to limit rail pollution, the Pacific Harbor Line on May 4 unveiled one of the nation’s most advanced zero-emission locomotives.

The Los Angeles and Long Beach ports want to be part of a statewide clean hydrogen hub, through which they would get funding to test usage of the fuel to power trucking and terminal equipment.
