uring 2013, as the nation continued its economic recovery, the West Coast
maritime industry invested for the future. Mega-terminals took shape at several
major ports. State-of-the-art automation projects ensued. Environmental efforts
continued to reduce emissions. And safety efforts led to the lowest level of injuries
ever recorded.
Now, with competition heating up from ports in Canada, Mexico and the East Coast,
those investments continue. West Coast terminal operators are working to show
shippers and consumers that they are efficient, productive and reliable. In so doing,
they aim to ensure a bright future for port workers, local communities and the nation.
