    Overview

    The Port of Long Beach is a vital hub for global commerce, serving as one of the busiest and most advanced container ports in the United States. Situated on 3,200 acres of land with 25 miles of waterfront, it operates adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles, creating a massive logistics and shipping complex in Southern California. The port is a primary gateway for U.S.-Asia trade, handling millions of containers and a broad array of cargo including petroleum products, electronics, chemicals, and furniture. With annual trade valued at approximately $100 billion, the port is a key driver of economic activity, supporting over 300,000 jobs and generating billions in tax revenue for California. Its modern terminals, intermodal links via the Alameda Corridor rail network, and ongoing infrastructure upgrades—including the environmentally focused Middle Harbor Redevelopment Project—exemplify its commitment to efficiency, sustainability, and global connectivity. The Port of Long Beach continues to play a leading role in propelling manufacturing, retail, and distribution throughout North America.
