Supersizing the Port of Long Beach

A great article on John Slangerup, the new head of the Port of Long Beach, CA, and the efforts to fit the port in better with supply chain realities. An important feature: his outreach effort across the country to let people know the port will address supply chain issues for the end user of the cargoes. That’s a big step forward, and it’s needed at all our ports.
