Along with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the Port of Los Angeles recently introduced the Alternative Maritime Program (AMP), which will have ships plug into cleaner land-side power once they reach the harbor.

Metro Investment Report presents an interview with Larry Keller, Executive Director of the Port of L.A., in which he talks about the significant issues facing the port, including terminal development, pollution mitigation, and port security.
