The Port of Los Angeles signed a five-year MoU with Copenhagen Malmö Port AB (CMP), partnering on sustainability and environmental issues, focusing on information and knowledge sharing and boost of energy use and alternative energy sources.
Specifically, the MoU was signed on November 15 at the port of Los Angeles.
Accordingly, the collaboration includes sharing of best practices between the two partners, advance clean marine terminal equipment technology, ocean-going vessels and drayage trucks and involvement in global environmental associations and initiatives.
Gene Seroka, Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles stated
This agreement further solidifies our partnership with CMP, and our mutual interest in promoting the most efficient, most sustainable goods movement possible. With cooperative information-sharing among ports around the world, the Port of Los Angeles has been able to achieve many of our advancements in reducing environmental impacts from port operations over the last decade.
In addition, Barbara Scheel Agersnap, CEO of CMP noted that to achieve greater energy efficiency, it is important for new technologies and innovative ways of working to emerge.
The port of LA recently issued a report about highlighting that tariffs have a negative impact on jobs, income and tax revenue, also affected from the ongoing trade war between the US and China.
