“We are honored to be recognized by our customers for delivering the highest standard of service in addition to the environmental achievements gained through our landmark Green Port Policy adopted 20 years ago,” said Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero. “We could not have achieved this without the marine terminal operators, workers, and supply chain partners who make the Port of Long Beach the most efficient and greenest gateway for trans-Pacific trade.”
“We thank the industry for taking notice of our investments in state-of-the-art modern facilities, excellent customer service, and sustainable practices to ensure our clients and tenants can move their goods rapidly and cost-effectively,” said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Frank Colonna. “We are grateful to Asia Cargo News and the support of its readers.”
