Hear of the MASSIVE growth at the Port of Long Beach – Dr. Noel Hacegaba [Talking Issues #46]
In this episode of Talking Issues, Curt Pringle sits down with Dr. Noel Hacegaba, CEO of the Port of Long Beach, for a clear breakdown of how goods move from global shipping lanes to stores and homes across the United States. Dr. Hacegaba breaks down why the port matters to the national economy, including its role in 2.7 million jobs and the movement of about $300 billion in goods. He shares how the port reached 9.9 million TEUs in 2025, near a 10 million container milestone, and how “front loading” ahead of tariff changes helped drive a record year. You will also hear what caused the pandemic era ship backups, why moving more cargo by rail improves speed and reduces congestion, and how the port is investing $3.2 billion to build the world’s largest in port rail yard and cut ship to rail transfer time toward 24 hours. Dr. Hacegaba closes with the Port’s 2050 vision, green shipping corridors, and the progress already made since 2005, including cutting emissions by about 98 percent while cargo volumes rose about 44 percent.
