January 15,2021 — Essential workers at the Port of Long Beach moved more than 8.1 million cargo container units in 2020, setting a record in the face of economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing trade war with China.

Exports totaled 1,475,888 TEUs, up 0.2%, while empty containers increased 9.9% to 2,639,088 TEUs. The Port exceeded the previous annual record set in 2018 by 22,292 TEUs.

Port of Hueneme secures first Marine Highway 5 Shipping Route designation
January 12, 2021 – The Port’s SEA LINC Project (Spurring Economic Advantages with Logistical Investments for New Connectivity) was recently awarded official designation by the U.S. Department of Transportation, marking the first time a project has been designated in Southern California since the inception of the American Marine Highways Program in 2007.
The SEA LINC Project aims to move cargo off federal and state highways by shifting the cargo to barge along Marine Highway 5 (M-5) instead. The cargo, currently being trucked from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California, will now move on the water and reduce traffic and air emissions, improve safety, and eliminate wear and tear on the roadways spanning across three states. The Port’s project is also the first American Marine Highway Coastal Service project designated on the entire West Coast of the United States.

Port Alberni Port Authority issues RFP for commercial opportunity
January 12, 2021 — The Port Alberni Port Authority (PAPA) operates China Creek Campground & Marina located approximately 10 kms south of the City of Port Alberni. The area is surrounded by the spectacular natural west coast setting of the Alberni Inlet and includes a marina with over 2300 lineal feet of side tie moorage and 200+ campsites ranging from large, fully-serviced to accommodate large RVs to cozier, quieter sites for those who prefer being more in touch with nature. And, just last year, 2 new “glamping” cabins, branded as Coho Cabanas were constructed with a joint operator. Area amenities include a marine fuel dock; heated washrooms and showers; coin-operated laundry; playground & children’s bike park; picnic area and stunning natural tidal beach area with some of the best, most easily accessible diving area on the west coast with direct access to the famous Alberni Inlet Trail.

Ceres makes its mark at the Port of Hueneme with two new hybrid cranes
January 11, 2021 — Over the holiday season, the Port was in full swing preparing for two new hybrid mobile harbor cranes. Their arrival on Saturday marks another step toward further reducing emissions and greening cargo operations at “The Greenest Port in the U.S.”. These new cranes will help speed the delivery of goods to local stores, increase efficiencies, support additional cargo movement, and reduce air emissions for the surrounding community.
“Since our Board adopted the Port’s Environmental Management Framework it has guided investments like these over the past 5 years,” said Oxnard Harbor District Board President Jess J. Ramirez. “The Port continues to stand on our commitment to grow sustainably, ensuring we reduce our carbon footprint with each step forward we take.”
