The Port of Long Beach was named the “Best West Coast Seaport” in North America at the 33rd annual Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain Awards, hosted recently in Hong Kong by shipping trade publication Asia Cargo News.
Each year, Asia Cargo News honors logistics industry leaders for demonstrating leadership as well as consistency in service quality, innovation, customer-relationship management and reliability. The awards are judged by importers, exporters, and logistics and supply chain professionals.
“We’ve invested $4 billion in modernization projects over the last 10 years, in a program designed to provide our supply chain partners with the services and facilities they need to move their goods rapidly and efficiently,” said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Tracy Egoscue. “It’s great to see customers satisfied, and we would like to thank Asia Cargo News for the award.”
“Our business is focused on Asia, so this is a special honor,” said Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero. “We’ll continue our focus on ensuring the Port remains the premier gateway for trans-Pacific trade.”
