San Pedro Bay Ports achieve record reduction levels of GHG emissions

Pacific Merchant Shipping Association (PMSA), an independent, not-for-profit association representing terminal owners & operators and ocean carriers operating on the United States West Coast, reported significant air quality improvements at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles in 2023.

PMSA said this is a result of maritime industry efforts, according to two new Emissions Inventories, Port of Long Beach 2023 emissions inventory and the Port of Los Angeles 2023 emissions inventory.

The San Pedro Bay Ports combined saw their largest reductions ever in 2023 compared to the baseline year of 2005 and exceeded the ports’ Clean Air Action Plan goals:

  • 91% for diesel particulate matter (DPM)
  • 72% for nitrogen oxides (NOx)
  • 98% for sulfur oxides (SOx)
  • 20% for greenhouse gases (GHG)

“These 2023 emission reductions are the most dramatic ever seen at our Ports,” stated Jacqueline Moore, Vice President of PMSA. “Our improvements in air quality over the past two decades are a real success story due to efforts and investments by PMSA members and our Port of LA and Long Beach partners.”
