California State Transportation Agency Secretary Toks Omishakin toured the Port of Long Beach to evaluate progress enabled by an unprecedented state grant from California’s Port and Freight Infrastructure Program. The funding sustains over 22,000 positions while cutting emissions and upgrading supply chain operations at the port.
Omishakin, accompanied by port executives, state lawmakers, and representatives from ILWU Locals 13, 63, and 94, convened at SSA Terminals Pier C—a collaboration between SSA Marine and Matson—to celebrate the procurement of 15 zero-emission, human-operated American-built yard tractors, related charging systems, and a tugboat retrofitted with a low-emission engine. These assets were obtained via the Port of Long Beach’s System-Wide Investment in Freight Transport initiative, abbreviated as SWIFT.
In 2023, the Port of Long Beach secured a historic USD 383 million in PFIP grant awards, with over US$ 158 million allocated to the port’s Pier B rail support facility, aimed at moving more freight from trucks to on-dock rail. Overall, the supported initiatives are projected to cut more than 12% of total carbon dioxide emissions and over 5% of nitrogen oxide emissions from port-related activities each year by 2028, while maintaining the 22,000 jobs tied to the investment.
Omishakin characterized the funding as a demonstration of economic prospects arising from deliberate infrastructure dedication. State Senator Lena Gonzalez and Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal each underscored the twin advantages of greener operations and union employment growth. Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson and Harbor Commission President Frank Colonna stressed the investment’s role in strengthening the port’s status as a worldwide sustainability frontrunner, while Port CEO Dr. Noel Hacegaba described the funding as essential to the port’s journey toward becoming the globe’s first zero-emissions port.
Over US$ 200 million in PFIP funds distributed via SWIFT are dedicated to human-operated zero-emission cargo handling machinery, charging stations, low-emission harbor vessels, and shore power enhancements. The Orange EV yard tractors stationed at Pier C are part of US$ 37.8 million in zero-emissions equipment grants at that site, with SSA Terminals planning to add nine battery-electric top handlers next year under a separate US$ 28.8 million project.
