About This Seaport
APM Terminals anchors the Port of Los Angeles at Pier 400, where berths handle container vessels of up to 20,000 TEU. The wider San Pedro Bay complex is the busiest container gateway in the United States, moving 10.2 million TEU in 2025 – its third ten-million year and a 26th straight year as the Western Hemisphere's number-one box port. Several operators share the terminals, handling breakbulk, reefer cargo and project shipments alongside containers arriving mainly from East Asia. Inland distribution runs on the Alameda Corridor, a dedicated rail freight line linking BNSF and Union Pacific 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 country's largest import streams here. In late 2025 the port issued a request for proposals for Pier 500, its first new container terminal in a generation, while the 1.8-billion-dollar Pier B programme will more than triple on-dock rail capacity. Forwarders facing congestion can shift to neighbouring Long Beach, with which Los Angeles forms a single complex, or to Oakland further north. Seattle-Tacoma offers a Pacific Northwest alternative for transpacific cargo.
