With August volume up 11.3% year-on-year Long Beach expects to see continued growth into 2022.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic work continued on major infrastructure upgrades in 2020.

The Port of Long Beach has expanded its STOR (Short Term Overflow Resource) storage yard at Pier S. The site was previously allocated for Long Beach’s seventh container terminal, but most recently it has been used as a storage and staging area for construction equipment.

Import container volumes surge ahead of the start of the peak shopping period.

The most advanced container terminal in the US has sold for US$1.7 billion.
