Welcome from the Executive Director

Welcome to the Port of Los Angeles website, and thank you for your interest in "America's Port." This website is a great place to learn about our operations and get details about our wide array of projects and activities -- from industry-leading environmental programs, to our exciting waterfront development programs, to the many events and recreational opportunities just waiting for you here at the Port of Los Angeles.

As the nation's leading container port, we take customer service very seriously and are committed to helping our customers’ business to thrive. Our Port is responsible for more than 900,000 jobs in California and nearly 3 million jobs across the country. Balancing our role as an economic driver for the region and country with our commitment to lessening the impacts of our operations on the environment set our path for the next decade: To Grow Green.

If you're visiting us during an upcoming cruise vacation or visit to Los Angeles, we encourage you to spend an extra day exploring the Port and surrounding harbor district. We'll post the very latest news and information on this site, so visit us often and let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.
