Yusen signs with LA for another 30 years

[ August 28, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners have approved a 30-year lease with Yusen Terminals, securing the longtime Port of Los Angles marine terminal operator through to 2056 and paving the way for an additional $200 million investment in zero-emission cargo-handling equipment. Yusen Terminals has operated at the Port of Los Angeles since 1991 on a 232 acre site north of the Vincent Thomas Bridge along the Port’s East Basin Channel. It is an active participant in multiple Port clean air initiatives, with strong community partnerships across the Los Angeles Harbor area. Under the lease extension, Yusen Terminals will invest an additional $200 million in zero-emission equipment over the coming years. The terminal has been actively transitioning its equipment toward zero-emission operations and already operates a range of zero-emission and hydrogen fuel-cell equipment, including electric top handlers, forklifts and yard tractors.
