The Pacific Maritime Association is proud to represent the world’s leading maritime companies who do business on the U.S. 西海岸. Our members move roughly 1 million tons of cargo through 西海岸 ports each day, directly employing tens of thousands of longshore workers and contributing to port activity that supports nearly ten million jobs across the nation. We are proud to be an important part of the U.S. economy, with 西海岸 port traffic accounting for 12.5 percent of the U.S. 国内生产总值.

At the same time, we know that continued success will require innovation. 西海岸 ports will need to prove themselves as efficient, reliable, and cost-effective. We must also continue to ensure our ports are safe, secure, and state-of-the-art.

This website contains a great deal of information about our industry and our workforce. I hope you will find it to be a useful resource on the 西海岸 waterfront.
