Long Beach Container Terminal at the Port of Long Beach Now Complete

The Port of Long Beach ushered in the next era of environmentally sustainable operations on Aug. 20, 2021, with the completion of the Long Beach Container Terminal at Middle Harbor, one of the most technologically advanced cargo facilities in the world.
Equipped with nearly all electric and zero-emissions equipment, LBCT at Middle Harbor is designed to strengthen competitiveness, improve cargo flow and dramatically enhance air quality amid an era of significant growth at the nation’s second-busiest seaport.

Automate every port! Save millions for the consumer!

It doesn't work like that.

[@PumaPete]

Yeah they will pass that savings on to you alright 😂

Double the capacity, green, less manning by eliminating jobs through automation, and yet shipping cargo still costs an arm and a leg. Putting people out of work, increasing income for management, and no price drop for increase in efficiency. Ahhh! Unfettered capitalism! Gotta love it!

Looks like a lot of ship to shore cranes and container cranes without equipment operators in them to me. Just like California look we are so green but we don’t have people in our equipment.

[@samsilbar6576]

There are operators in the STS cranes and they also have man-powered tractors in their rail

[@schlenbea]

That's called automation.

[@grooviefan]

Joshua, cranes won’t operate if the dock is at capacity. Nowhere to unload the containers. .

[@schlenbea]

Yes but is it green? I wasn't certain with the 43 times they mentioned it.

[@BooRadley452]

It's actually gangrene. However, it keeps the union boys busy while the TRUE patriots continue to actually make things happen.

Green coal powered electricity! 🤣
