At their respective state of the port luncheons, both the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach announced plans to grow by building new container terminals, expanding existing terminals and creating support facilities.
The Port of Los Angeles will build a new 200-acre container terminal, expand two existing terminals and develop an 80-acre chassis facility.
The Port of Long Beach touted its expansion of Pier G giving it berth space to simultaneously accommodate two ultra-large containership as well as doubling Pier B’s existing rail yard. Additionally, the Port of Long Beach announced plans to develop the first-ever zero-emission terminal at Pier S.
Terminals on the East and Gulf Coasts continue to vie for discretionary cargo and are building new terminals, expanding capacity and improving rail connectivity.
Despite tariffs and an unsettled market, terminals across the country are betting on a bright future for trade and are planning accordingly.
