Los Angeles Port Processes 10 Million Containers

The Port of Los Angeles this month became the first port in the Western Hemisphere to process 10 million container units in a 12-month period. To mark the milestone, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, longshore labour leaders, Port officials and stakeholders gathered at the Port’s Fenix Marine Services Container Terminal to watch the 10 millionth container loaded onto the CMA CGM AMERIGO VESPUCCI, a vessel from the fleet of the Port’s largest shipping line customer, the CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Port of Los Angeles remained open every day, serving as a vital link and economic engine for the region and nation. The Port remained a steady source of high-quality jobs - from the docks to all nodes of the supply chain - despite the challenges presented by COVID-19 emergency orders and widespread economic uncertainties.
