July 23, 2024 — Port of Hueneme officials have announcement a $3.9 million award from the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz).
The investment, known as the California Port Data Partnership, is designed to revolutionize direct cloud-based data management and sharing among California’s five containerized ports to accelerate climate adaptation and resiliency, workforce development, zero-emission vehicle deployment, and increased grid support and reliability.
California ports are responsible for handling 40% of all containerized imports and 30% of all containerized exports in the U.S.
“California’s ports are critical to the stability of our national and global supply chains, as well as the health of our worldwide economy,” GO-Biz director and senior advisor to Gov. Gavin Newsom, Dee Dee Myers, said in a statement announcing the award. “These historic, first-of-their-kind awards will allow us to use data to improve the functionality of our supply chain, and we look forward to working with our ports to further the momentum that these projects will generate across the state.”
