Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles extend night and weekend hours

The Port of Long Beach and Los Angeles are expanding the hours during which trucks can pick up and return containers in a bid to improve freight movement and reduce delays through the ports as they continue to experience record volumes.

Long Beach will maximise night time operations while Los Angeles will expand weekend operating gate hours.

Dubbed “Accelerate Cargo LA,” the Port of Los Angeles’ programme will operate on a pilot basis to ensure that gate availability meets cargo demands and provides greater transparency to improve efficiency.
