PORTS OF LONG BEACH & LOS ANGELES: MOVING FORWARD TO BINDING ZERO-EMISSIONS

The nation’s busiest port complex has taken a decisive step toward eliminating emissions from maritime operations, with
the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners voting unanimously to approve a binding agreement with the South Coast Air Quality
Management District that establishes concrete deadlines for transitioning to zero-emissions infrastructure.

The cooperative agreement commits the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to developing comprehensive infrastructure plans in
three phases, beginning with a draft plan in May 2027 and concluding with approved plans for all equipment categories by the end of
2029. The agreement will target emissions from cargo handling equipment, harbor craft, trucks, trains and ocean-going vessels
across the ports complex.
