Port of Long Beach Ramps Up Efforts to Move Cargo Quicker

The Port of Long Beach is looking to tackle congestion problems through regular meetings and brainstorming with stakeholders, the port said in a Oct. 7 statement. The Port of Long Beach is also reaching out to the Federal Maritime Commission for help with the congestion, the statement said, while not specifying what type of assistance that may involve. "Nobody benefits from congestion, but everybody wins when cargo crosses our gateway as efficiently and as fast as possible," said Port Chief Operating Officer Noel Hacegaba. "That’s why I am positive we will find productive and efficient ways to move cargo and relieve congestion."
