RECORD BREAKING EXPORT VOLUMES PORT OF LOS ANGELES
Total loaded import/export Twenty-Foot Equivalent (TEU) volumes increased 9.16 percent compared to November 2011. For the second straight month, loaded exports reached the highest one-month volume in Port of Los Angeles history (195,877 TEUs), up 15 percent compared to the previous November. In the first 11 months of 2011, exports have already surpassed 2010 volumes, which had been the previous Port of Los Angeles record. The Port of Los Angeles is on pace to export more than 2 million TEUs. 
Loaded imports increased 6.17 percent compared to last November. 
When factoring in empty TEUs (-11.6 percent), overall November TEU volumes increased 4.07 percent compared to November 2010. Empty container volumes are a reflection of demand overseas and space availability on outbound vessels.
For the first eleven months of calendar year 2011, overall volumes have increased 1 percent compared to 2010. The Port is coming off a 16 percent gain in calendar year 2010 compared to 2009.

 

PORT OF LOS ANGELES RECEIVES THREE DESIGN, ENGINEERING AWARDS FOR WILMINGTON WATERFRONT PARK
WILMINGTON, Calif. — December 14, 2011 — The Port of Los Angeles has earned three prestigious engineering and design awards for Wilmington Waterfront Park, a 30-acre green space that has become a community icon since opening in June. 

The Port received the 2011 Project of the Year Award by the Southern California Chapter of the American Works Association (APWA). The Port, along with consultant team Sasaki Associates, Inc., also received the 2011 Best Project Award in the Landscaping/Urban Planning category by Engineering News-Record (ENR) California Magazine.

In addition, the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) has announced it will honor the Port of Los Angeles and Sasaki Associates, Inc. with the 2012 Merit Award in Engineering Excellence.

“These three prestigious awards from such highly respected organizations is a testament to the effort by both the Port and Sasaki Associates to design a world-class urban park,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D. “We owe a debt of gratitude to the many Wilmington residents who led the effort to build a park the community would cherish for generations. Together, we have succeeded.”
