Six U.S. West Coast Ports and two western railroads came together at the World Shipping Summit in Qingdao, China, last week to announce their collaboration. They addressed leaders and customers of the maritime industry including ocean carriers, beneficial cargo owners and marine terminal and intermodal operators during the event, which was held on November 12 and 13. The U.S. West Coast Collaboration comprises the major container Ports on the West Coast — Seattle , Tacoma , Portland , Oakland , Long Beach , and Los Angeles — along with BNSF Railway Company and Union Pacific Railroad . The Collaboration showcased the benefits of the West Coast as the premier region for trans-Pacific trade.

In the aftermath of the Panic of '08, port traffic has plummeted - LA-Long Beach for example is back to 2001 levels. But cooperation with competitors and better integration with railroads can help the Ports maintain their lead in bringing containers from China and distributing them to logistics centers and factories across the USA. Absent from the summit is representation from Mexico where the federal government continues to back a new container port at Punta Colonet in Baja peninsula. That development has been scaled back , however, to 1 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent) containers capacity per year.
