Panama Canal Signs Alliance with Long Beach Port

The alliance seeks to generate new business, economic growth and promote trade between the east coast of L.A. and this region of California.

Thursday, December 9, 2010

The Port of Long Beach is the second largest in the United States.

The memorandum, which is renewable and for a period of two years, will facilitate the exchange of information and technology as well as develop joint marketing opportunities and modernization efforts.

For example, the two entities will work in promoting best practices in areas such as engineering, dredging and environment, with emphasis on programs which will help reduce carbon emissions.

This agreement will help the Panama Canal to consolidate its role as a logistics hub of the area.

Since 2007, the Panama Canal has facilitated the passage of nearly 21 million long tons of cargo between the Port of Long Beach and trading partners on the east coast of South America.
