# The West Coast Ports: A Behind the Scenes Look at What is Really Happening

It is estimated that approximately 40% of the containers coming into this country flow through the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. With the emergence of Panamax Vessels and other important changes, more and more companies are starting to take a critical look at the ports they will be using in the future. We will look at what is happening at the West Coast ports and address the challenges that shippers and third-party logistics are experiencing.
