APM Terminals Los Angeles strengthens green shipping corridor through methanol and terminal electrification

APM Terminals Pier 400 is ambitious to achieve zero emissions in their operations ahead of the 2030 deadlines set forth in the Clean Air Action Plan. As a critical node in the green corridor that is forming between Los Angeles and key cities in China, Pier 400 has invested in terminal electrification and support for alternative-fuel vessels. A key milestone was the arrival of Maersk's methanol-enabled containership, Alette Maersk, at Pier 400, demonstrating the growing integration of low-emission maritime transport and sustainable port operations. As one of APM Terminals' global electrification pilot sites, Pier 400 is expanding electric cargo-handling equipment and infrastructure to support cleaner supply chains and accelerate progress toward net-zero emissions.
