The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners yesterday approved a new incentive program to reward shipping lines that bring new container business to the Port of Los Angeles in 2014.
Separately, the Board also established a two-member ad hoc committee on Port Industrial and Economic Development dedicated to identifying and advancing the best economic practices for maintaining the Port’s top position. Vice President David Arian and Commissioner Patricia Castellanos will serve on the ad hoc committee.
“Both of these steps we’re taking today move us forward in our commitment to maintaining our No.1 status,” Arian said. “We will continue to develop new and innovative strategies to make sure we are as efficient and competitive as possible.”
