Ship's Log: A Maritime Series
Beginning in 2020, USC Sea Grant hosts a series of articles highlighting marine transportation topics and issues that are relevant to Southern California. Los Angeles County consists of two ports, the Port of Los Angeles (in San Pedro) and the Port of Long Beach, and they are the #1 and #2 container ports in the U.S. bringing in about 40% of import cargo for the country and managing over 1.3 billion in cargo value every day. This series aims to address common questions, highlight current topics and issues, and to increase knowledge and understanding of these important ports.
