Growing greener, stronger communities together! 🌳✨

We’re excited to share how a $200,000 Port of Long Beach Community Grant awarded to the City of Paramount helped transform Dills Park Community Orchard into a thriving green space for local residents! Located near the L.A. River and 710 Freeway, this park features fruit trees and serves as a natural buffer to reduce noise, improve air quality, and offset traffic impacts from port operations.

The Community Grants Program is an initiative created to invest directly in local neighborhoods. To date, it represents the largest voluntary seaport mitigation program in the nation, funding millions in projects—like parks, air filtration, and health programs—in communities heavily impacted by goods movement.

🚢 Making its maiden call at the Port of Long Beach: the Elder Leader, an NYK Line vessel that transports automobiles and heavy equipment around the world.

Launched this year and capable of carrying up to 7,000 vehicles, the LNG-powered ship combines cleaner fuel with advanced digital and autonomous navigation technologies. NYK operates more Tier III RoRo – roll-on, roll-off – vessels than any other RoRo carrier, demonstrating its continued commitment to cleaner maritime operations.

We're grateful for NYK's business and we look forward to welcoming more beautiful vessels like the Elder Leader to Long Beach. 🌊⚓

The first time a ship visits a port – its maiden call – is always a special occasion, and this week the Port of Long Beach welcomed the OOCL Iris to Long Beach Container Terminal for the first time.

The Iris, a 16,000-TEU vessel launched in 2024, is named for both the flower and also Orient Overseas Container Line's Integrated Regional Information System, the software that the shipping line uses to track shipment and financial information.

Safe sailing and welcome to the Iris and its crew – we hope to see you many times here in Long Beach!
