The Port of Long Beach has similar MoUs in place with several ports in China, Europe and Mexico.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), first signed in December 2010, also facilitates the exchange of ideas for seaport engineering, dredging and environmental practices.
“The Port of Long Beach is pleased to renew the MoU with Panama Canal as we continue to work together to increase our trade with the nations of Latin America,” said Port of Long Beach Executive Director J. Christopher Lytle.
“We see this pact as a long-term, mutually beneficial agreement.”
