Take a 24-hour ride through the most significant gateway in North America. Spread across 4,300 acres of land and 3,200 acres of water the port boasts nine container terminals. The Port of Los Angeles - known affectionately as "America's Port"- is the biggest, busiest and most significant gateway to the North American market. With 500 million dollars worth of cargo passing through the LA wharves everyday, a delay at this port sends a ripple effect through the U.S. economy. With over 80 shipping lines constantly moving through its harbour, the Port of LA employs a team of 13 port pilots to guide all vessels through its waterways.
