Port of Long Beach recognised as best West Coast seaport

The honour was announced during the Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain Awards held on 25 June in Shanghai. Asia Cargo News honours logistics industry members for demonstrating leadership and consistency in service quality, innovation, customer relationship management and reliability. Importers, exporters, and logistics and supply chain professionals judge the awards.
 
More than 15,000 readers of Asia Cargo News made the nominations for each category, then determined the winner from a list of eight finalists in each category. 

“We are grateful to once again be bestowed this honor,” said Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero. “We appreciate the recognition as we continue to offer operational excellence, and invest in port infrastructure such as our Pier B rail facility and our many ongoing zero-emissions projects.”  “We must thank our dockworkers, terminal operators and every one of our supply chain partners for their diligent work and dedication,” said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Bobby Olvera Jr.

“Thank you to Asia Cargo News and its readers for this award.”

Last month, the Port of Long Beach announced it would receive $283 million from the federal government to assist in building ‘America’s Green Gateway’.

More recently, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach announced that they will invest $25 million to a collaboration with regional air quality authorities.
