Port of Long Beach Receives Record Federal Funding for Harbor Infrastructure

The Port of Long Beach will receive nearly $70 million in federal Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund funding, a record amount that will support critical harbor maintenance and infrastructure projects throughout the port. The funding will be used for dredging, wharf repairs, seismic upgrades, navigation improvements, and other projects designed to strengthen the port’s long-term resiliency and improve cargo flow.

The new funding is especially important for importers, exporters, and cold chain companies that depend on efficient cargo movement through the Port of Long Beach. Improvements to harbor infrastructure can help reduce delays, improve truck access, and speed the movement of containers from the terminal to nearby warehouses and distribution facilities.

For refrigerated and frozen cargo, faster movement through the port is critical. Many temperature-sensitive shipments require immediate drayage, reefer plug-in service, transloading, and cross-docking once they arrive. As infrastructure improvements move forward, nearby cold storage providers may be able to move cargo more efficiently and reduce time spent at the terminal.

KPAC Cold Storage’s Wilmington facilities, located minutes from the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, support refrigerated and frozen storage, container drayage, transloading, reefer plug-in services, and cross-docking for importers moving products through Southern California’s port complex.
