The Port of Long Beach handled a record 9.88 million TEUs in 2025, topping its 2024 peak while avoiding the congestion that marked the pandemic years. New CEO Dr. Noel Hacegaba outlined a plan to double container volumes by 2050, anchored by a $1.8-billion on-dock rail facility at Pier B to speed cargo from ship to train. The port is also pursuing a proposed zero-emissions terminal at Pier S and rolling out a Universal Trucking Appointment System through its CargoNav platform. Five of six terminals each moved more than one million TEUs in 2025, with rail connectivity and electrification central to future growth. Long Beach expects another 9-million-plus year in 2026 as trade patterns continue to evolve.
