 Introduction
The Port of Los Angeles, also promoted as
"America's Port", is a seaport  managed by
the Los Angeles Harbor Department, a unit
of the City of Los Angeles. 
The busiest container port in North America, the Port of
Los Angeles has sustained its rank as number one for
more than two decades. The Port maintains an efficient,
sustainable supply chain, adopting new technologies and
efficiency of the flow of cargo across global seaborne
trade.
 HISTORI
During World War II, the
port was primarily used for
shipbuilding, employing
more than 90,000 people.
The opening of the Vincent
Thomas Bridge in 1963
greatly improved access to
Terminal Island and allowed
increased traffic and further
expansion of the port.
 PORT DISTRICT

The port district is an independent, self-

supporting department of the government of
the City of Los Angeles. The port is under the
control of a five-member Board of Harbor
Commissioners appointed by the mayor and
approved by the city council, and is
administered by an executive director.
 SHIPPING
It's the most cargo moved annually by a
Western Hemisphere port. The port is the busiest
port in the United States by container volume,
the 19th-busiest container port in the world, and
the 10th-busiest worldwide when combined with
the neighboring Port of Long Beach.
 CONCLUSION
For the last decade, the
Port has also been at the
forefront of revitalization
of the LA, improving
public access to the water,
developing public-friendly
amenities and
infrastructure, and
transforming the shoreline
into a world-class visitor
destination.
