Ports throughout the Western Hemisphere continue to make investments to ensure the flow of cargo and help improve supply chain fluidity through increased port capacity and more efficient operations. Ports continue to deliver vital goods and services, ship exports, and connect farmers, manufacturers, retailers and consumers to the global marketplace.
Ports are already taking an active role in planning, developing and implementing projects for improving infrastructure and reducing the physical and economic impacts of climate change. Ports are collaborating with industry leaders, allocating resources, and working to lessen the burden on our planet while building stronger, more resilient communities.
Ports are taking a proactive approach to educate community organizations, students, and other local groups, about professional development pathways and career opportunities at ports, as well as their importance to the regional economy. Ports are committed to promoting DEI through various programs aimed at ensuring the most talented employees, regardless of their backgrounds, are being prepared to be the next port leaders.
