WCSA ports plan for the long term

Top US West Coast ports have received over US$ 170 million from the Harbor Maintenance Tax Fund, despite historically minimal federal investment.

The global container market grew by 1.5% to 173.5 million TEU in 2023, but without COVID-19, it would have reached 198.1 million TEU.

The 16,616 TEU MSC CHIYO is making calls at Buenaventura, Callao, San Antonio and Coronel.

The west coast has some work to do to win back cargo re-routed to the gulf and east coasts, but there were encouraging signs at the Port of Los Angeles in June.

Steep decline partly attributable to the return of services to Los Angeles that were moved to Long Beach in 2022.

Grants provide funding for infrastructure upgrades, including $450M to support zero emissions projects, and $350M for grade separation at rail crossings.
