As the second-busiest container seaport in the US, the port handles trade valued at $200 billion annually and supports 2.6 million jobs across the nation, more than 575,000 of them in Southern California and more than 50,000 in Long Beach itself.

The Port of Long Beach is one of the few US ports that can welcome today's largest vessels, and serves 175 shipping lines with connections to 217 seaports around the world. Goods moving through the Port of Long Beach originate in or are destined for every congressional district in the US.
