JPS is regularly featured in various media. Jacobsen’s deep knowledge of all things marine and intimate understanding of the Port of Long Beach regularly lead to us being quoted in press features.

Working on a story? We’d love to help out and comment regularly on the Port of Long Beach, navigating the largest ships in the world, Coast Guard, Navy, pilotage and the changing world of import and export. Contact us today and ask for Tom Jacobsen.
