Committed to market-leading growth, Ports America is currently focusing its business strategies on increasing its West Coast presence through additional investments and expansion of services into new terminals.
The stevedore and terminal operating company has identified four areas of concentration that are most suited to its realignment goals. These include Los Angeles, Long Beach, the Pacific Northwest and western Canada.
Ports America’s long-standing joint venture partnership at West basin Container Terminal, or WBCT, and its recently acquired 30% ownership of International Transportation Services, ITS, are also key locations for its strategy.
Accordingly, Ports America is actively planning its expansion and investment opportunities in its existing locations at both the Port of Tacoma, and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach specifically. In addition to new opportunities in the Pacific Northwest and continued work with all stakeholders, personnel and labour.
Given Port America’s strategy, the joint venture partner in Outer Harbor Terminal, LLC, has changed its arrangement with the Port of Oakland and returned the OHT leased property back to the port.
At Port Network Container Terminal, Ports America will also invest $500mbefore 2030 for an expansion that will double the number of containers moving through the terminal and create significant economic growth within the region. Further expansion plans include additional yard, improved gate facility, added deep berths and additional super-post-panamax ship-to-shore cranes.
