About Los Angeles
Los Angeles shares San Pedro Bay with Long Beach, and the two operate as adjacent but separately administered ports. From Europe, cargo reaches it either through the Panama Canal or by transshipment, which makes it a longer routing than the East Coast for most UK shippers. Its real strength is onward distribution: the intermodal rail links east from San Pedro Bay are among the most developed in North America.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Los Angeles — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 24–30 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider United States lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
