About This Seaport
A record 9.88 million TEU crossed Long Beach in 2025 — the busiest year in the port's 115-year history and confirmation of its standing among North America's largest container gateways. Together with neighbouring Los Angeles it forms the primary maritime gateway on San Pedro Bay for trans-Pacific trade with Asia. Six container terminals share the work — in 2025 five of them each handled more than 1 million TEU and two topped 2 million — led by the highly automated Long Beach Container Terminal at Middle Harbor with capacity around 3.3 million TEU. Beyond boxes, the port moves substantial volumes of petroleum and petrochemicals and offers major ship-repair and dry-dock facilities. Inland reach is a key strength: the dedicated Alameda Corridor rail line links the docks to the rail yards of greater Los Angeles, complemented by the I-710 and I-405 freeways. As US customs territory with Foreign-Trade-Zone status, the port lets importers store and process goods under bond. Reefer, hazardous and project cargoes are handled as standard. Shippers seeking to avoid West Coast congestion typically divert to Oakland, Seattle-Tacoma or East Coast ports via the Panama Canal.
