Port of Los Angeles
S1 E6:
Spread across 4300 acres of land, and 3200 acres of water and boasting 9 container terminals, the Port of Los Angeles - known affectionately as "America's Port"- is the biggest, busiest and most significant gateway to the North American market. With 500 million dollars worth of cargo passing through the LA wharves everyday, a delay at this port sends a ripple effect through the U.S. economy.
