PORT of Los Angeles deputy executive director Mike DiBernardo says the proposed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Port of Long Beach would enable the ports to discuss 'opportunities for service enhancements' at landside points where cargo is transferred between marine terminals and motor carriers and railways. Speaking to the Port of Los Angeles Board of Harbour Commissioners, Mr DiBernardo noted the two adjacent ports on San Pedro Bay, with 13 container terminals covering 3,400 acres, handle 37 per cent of US containerised ocean cargo.
The proposed MoU was presented to the Port of Long Beach Harbour Commission at its September 23 meeting, reported American Shipper.
According to port of Long Beach's executive director Mario Cordero, the aim of the MoU is 'to discuss collaboration on operational-related questions as we have done so on the environmental front.'
