In a video message, Port of Los Angeles executive director Gene Seroka outlined key construction projects moving forward, including enhancements to the Everport Terminal, several marine oil terminals and on-dock rail capability. The port’s current list of active projects totals US$367m in capital spending.
Mr Seroka also said the port is working with supply chain stakeholders on increasing exports out of the US via Los Angeles and planning for increased trade with Vietnam and other southeast Asian countries.
“While our nation battles this global pandemic and the economic headwinds of these challenging times, there is a strong desire among many of us to look toward the future,” said Mr Seroka. “That future focus is a constant here at the Port of Los Angeles. It has to be.”
The port remains open with all terminals operational during the COVID-19 pandemic.
