The Port of Long Beach (POLB) announced Wednesday that a kickoff meeting earlier this week with the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) marked the beginning of their collaboration to enhance velocity and efficiency throughout the gateway’s supply chain.
As the first meeting under the formal discussion agreement recently approved by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), ranking staff from the San Pedro ports, that together make up the busiest port complex in the United States, decided that their number one goal is to get cargo moving more efficiently.
According to the POLB, the initial meeting was held at POLB headquarters to discuss the framework for how the ports will collaborate, work with stakeholders within the supply chain and communicate the results of these efforts.
