This achievement further strengthens our drive to build the Port of the Future and achieve our bold, new 2050 Vision to double cargo volumes to 20 million units annually by 2050.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be recognized again as the best on the West Coast and it is something we do not take for granted,\u201d said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Frank Colonna. \u201cThat\u2019s why the Port of Long Beach continues to strive for excellence by investing in its infrastructure and its workforce to ensure a high level of customer service and cargo movement efficiency and reliability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Port of Long Beach is building the Port of the Future, guided by its bold new 2050 vision and a plan to double current container volumes to 20 million annually by 2050. By strategically modernizing the Port\u2019s infrastructure with $3.3 billion in capital investments over the next decade and developing digital systems to dramatically enhance efficiency and visibility, the Port is also becoming the world\u2019s first zero-emissions port. Today the Port moves cargo valued at $300 billion a year and generates 2.7 million jobs across the U.S., as it continues to lead the world on sustainability programs and plans to double those benefits by doubling volume. As one of only 18 commercial strategic seaports in the U.S. with a duty to support force deployment during national defense emergencies, a community partner that offers $3 million per year in sponsorships for local nonprofits and a major catalyst for workforce development creating opportunities for students far and wide, the Port is well-positioned for even higher achievements.
