Port of Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Port leverages its position as the busiest container port in the United States by serving several major factory districts and industrial hubs. Key areas include:

• South Bay and Harbor Area: These regions are directly adjacent to the port and encompass numerous manufacturing facilities, particularly those involved in aerospace, petroleum, and metal fabrication industries.


• Inland Empire: This area, which includes cities like Ontario and Riverside, has grown into a significant logistics and warehousing hub. It houses distribution centres for major retailers and e-commerce companies.
  The Inland Empire also benefits from the Alameda Corridor, a rail link that connects the port to these inland distribution points, enhancing the efficiency of cargo movement​.


• Greater Los Angeles Area: The broader metropolitan area, including cities like Vernon and Commerce, features a dense concentration of factories producing goods ranging from food and beverages to apparel and electronics.


• These factories rely heavily on the port for raw materials and for exporting finished products globally.
