Port-area yard security in Long Beach

Local and live

Between the docks, the 710 and the Alameda Corridor

The Port of Long Beach moved a record 9,881,595 TEUs in 2025, 48.9% of the cargo moving through San Pedro Bay, which it shares with the Port of Los Angeles. Containers leave by truck on the I-710 Long Beach Freeway, the most direct route to the rail yards in Vernon and East Los Angeles, or by train on the Alameda Corridor, a 20-mile freight rail line linking both ports to the BNSF and Union Pacific mainlines.

Between those routes sit the drayage yards, container and chassis lots and transload warehouses of Long Beach, Carson, Wilmington and Compton, where boxes wait for a truck, a train or an empty return. California remained the state hit hardest by cargo theft in 2025: Verisk CargoNet counted 1,218 incidents there, more than any other state, even as the count in Los Angeles County fell 11 percent.

At a port-area yard, Sigma's agents see each drayage truck arrive on camera, speak to the driver through the site's speakers, open the gate and log the visit. Parking reports show which units are where, and damage inspections and visual seal checks on video record their condition. Overnight, AI person and vehicle detection watches the stacks and fence lines, with a live, instant talk-down and escalation to police.
