The Port of Long Beach

Long Beach Port, also known as the Long Beach Harbor Department, is an American container port adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles. Serving as a major gateway for US-Asian trade, the port includes 3,200 acres (13 km2) of land and 25 miles (40 km) of coastline in Long Beach, California. Long Beach Harbor is located 3 km southwest of downtown Long Beach and 40 km south of downtown Los Angeles. The port brings in about $100 billion in trade annually and employs more than 316,000 people in Southern California.

Being the second biggest port, the Port of Long Beach is less than 30 kilometers from the Los Angeles Port. Founded in 1911, it’s today one of the biggest gateways for trade between Asia and North America. The Long Beach Port was one of the first to adopt eco-friendly policies to reduce its impact on the environment, through measures such as the Green Port Policy.
