Terminal operators in LA and Long Beach face challenges in meeting the 2030 zero-emissions goal, with slow progress on replacing diesel-powered equipment.

TraPac Oakland terminal debuts its first hybrid electric Rubber Tyred Gantry cranes (RTGs).

The ILWU and PMA are rumoured to have an agreement on automation, but “rank-and-file” union members withheld labour over the PMA’s position on wage increases.

Under a new agreement with the port, TraPac is no longer required to raise two STS cranes at its terminal in Oakland and will invest in cleaner RTGs instead.

West coast union says parties have reached a “tentative agreement” on “certain key issues”.

With import volumes falling and dwell times coming down, labour issues at LA/Long Beach are more of a “minor inconvenience” than a “severe disruption” says FourKites.
