Long Beach Harbor Commissioner Roy Hearrean elaborates on the importance of the port to the region's economic health.
What goes on in the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles--which together constitute the world's 3rd largest container port--is of great significance to the region's 17 million residents and to manufacturers and consumers across the continental U.S. During the Port of Long Beach's fiscal year 1999-2000, $89 billion in trade--the equivalent of 4.5 million 20-foot cargo container units--moved across its wharves. And as growth continues at a clip far greater than projected, the Port is faced with the mammoth task of making the necessary infrastructure improvements, including rail and freeway projects and environmental mitigation. MIR was pleased to speak with Long Beach Harbor Commissioner Roy E. Hearrean about the Port's priorities and vision.
