Port of Los Angeles LA-LB ports confident to stem import share bleed
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are hoping that a US$6.6 billion investment and more dynamic operations fuelled by technology will stem the bleeding of import market share 'down to just shy of 37 per cent' to East Coast ports that are targeting even more Midwest cargo via stronger intermodal rail connections.
Competition for market share in the lucrative trade with Asia is not confined to East Coast ports attempting to attract discretionary cargo from the West Coast. Similar competition is taking place among south Atlantic ports in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida.

洛杉矶港和长滩港有信心阻止进口市场份额流失
洛杉矶和长滩的港口认为66亿美元的投资和更多的由技术推动的动态运营可以阻止进口市场份额流向东海岸港口,这些东海岸港口的目标是更多中西部货物可以通过更强的多式联运铁路连接。
在与亚洲利润丰厚的贸易中,市场份额的竞争不仅限于美国东海岸港口试图从西海岸吸引可自由支配货物。在格鲁吉亚、南卡罗来纳和佛罗里达的南大西洋港口之间也会发生类似的竞争。
