Renewed Governance
Promote dialogue between the City and the Port within a renewed governance framework.
Adopting a land management policy that strikes a balance between urban uses and the active port, especially on the waterfront.
How to find the optimal balance between space limitations, port needs, and limiting fossil fuel emissions?
When developing new facilities, ports need to maximise efficiency and minimise fossil fuel emissions through innovative technology and strategic expansion. The Port of Long Beach’s completion of the Long Beach Container Terminal represents an achievement in sustainable cargo operations, boasting all-electric, zero-emission equipment and aligning with environmental policies. The terminal exemplifies the optimal balance between space limitations, port requirements, and environmental stewardship.
This good practice also includes objective 2.3 (Committing the City Port territory to achieving a low carbon, low resources society, through the transformation of industrial production, and the production and management of carbon-neutral, renewable energies) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
The Port of Long Beach has completed the Long Beach Container Terminal (LBCT) at Middle Harbour, a technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable cargo facility. The terminal is equipped with nearly all electric and zero-emission equipment, making it one of the greenest ports in America. It aims to improve cargo flow, enhance air quality, and strengthen competitiveness at the nation's second-busiest seaport.
