Description

Two of several tugboats at the Port of Los Angeles.
The current position of HERCULES and the DELTA TERESA is at North America West Coast (coordinates 33.73988 N / 118.27805 W)

The busiest container port in North America is the Port of Los Angeles (USLAX, port code: 2704), which is also referred to as "America's port." According to total TEUs, it is the biggest port in the US. Being the biggest port in the USA, Los Angeles port congestion is well known.

The Los Angeles Harbor Department, a division of the City of Los Angeles, is in charge of running the harbor. The port of Los Angeles is located next to the independent Port of Long Beach and encompasses 7,500 acres (3,000 hectares) of land and water with 43 miles (69 km) of waterfront. In addition to 82 container cranes, 8 container terminals, and 113 miles (182 km) of on-dock rail, the port includes 25 cargo terminals. The increasing numbers only contribute to further port congestion in Los Angeles Port.

With record quantities of containerized commerce, the port has maintained its position as the top port for more than two decades. Twenty percent of all arriving cargo for the US is handled by the port's 25 cargo terminals.
Furniture, automobile components, apparel, footwear, and electronics are some of the top exports.
The top imports include soybeans, scrap metal, pet and animal food, and waste paper.
China/Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam are some of the top trading partners.
