The Port of Long Beach is ready to manage increased cargo volumes due to potential labor strikes at East and Gulf Coast ports, according to CEO Mario Cordero. With a 34% rise in cargo in August, the port is operating efficiently without the backlogs seen during the pandemic. COO Noel Hacegaba highlighted that terminal operators are flexible with gate hours and have an overflow facility available. Current container terminal capacity is at 74%, with dwell times of four to eight days, ensuring the port is well-positioned for continued growth and shipment upticks.
