About This Seaport
A rail yard growing from 82 to 171 acres — the 1.8 billion USD Pier B programme — underpins Long Beach (US LGB), one of North America's largest container gateways, which handled 4,829,578 TEU in the first half of 2026, up 1.7% year on year. On San Pedro Bay in California, the port works alongside neighbouring Los Angeles as the main trans-Pacific entry point for Asian imports into the United States, having closed 2025 at a record 9.88 million TEU. Six container terminals share the traffic, led by the highly automated Long Beach Container Terminal at Middle Harbor with capacity of around 3.3 million TEU; five terminals each passed one million TEU in 2025 and two topped two million. Alongside boxes the port moves large volumes of petroleum and petrochemicals and handles reefer, hazardous and project cargo, backed by major ship-repair and dry-dock capacity. Inland, the dedicated Alameda Corridor rail line runs to the rail yards of greater Los Angeles, complemented by the I-710 and I-405 freeways. Pier B, supported by a 283 million USD federal grant signed in May 2026, is set to lift on-dock rail capacity from 1.5 to 4.7 million TEU a year by 2032. As US customs territory with Foreign-Trade-Zone status, the port lets importers store and process goods under bond, with entry clearance handled by CBP. Shippers avoiding West Coast congestion typically route via Oakland, Seattle-Tacoma or East Coast ports through the Panama Canal.
