About This Seaport
APM Terminals anchors the Port of Los Angeles at Pier 400, where berths now accommodate container vessels of up to 20,000 TEU. The wider port complex on San Pedro Bay is the busiest container gateway in the United States, handling 10.3 million TEU in 2024 – close to 20 percent above the prior year. Several operators share the terminals, moving containers alongside breakbulk, reefer cargo and project shipments arriving mainly from East Asia. Inland distribution runs on the Alameda Corridor, a dedicated rail freight line linking BNSF and Union Pacific services to the national network, with the I-710 freeway carrying truck drayage. Customs clearance is handled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which processes one of the largest import streams in the country here. Rail capacity expanded recently through a 73 million dollar project at Pier 400 designed to cut truck trips. Forwarders facing congestion can shift to neighbouring Long Beach, with which Los Angeles forms a single port complex, or to Oakland further north. Seattle-Tacoma offers a Pacific Northwest alternative for transpacific cargo.
