IN FOND MEMORY OF TONY SKINNER
We are sad to learn of the passing of the Port’s dear friend, Tony Skinner. Tony was an ally and advocate for labor and a leader to many. His legacy will live on with all of us. We will continue to honor his memory and his incredible work on the historic Project Labor Agreement executed with trades, the Port and Harbor Commissioners.

The Port of Hueneme is one of the most productive and efficient commercial trade gateways for niche cargo on the West Coast. The Port is governed by five locally elected Port Commissioners. The Port moves $9.5 billion in goods each year and consistently ranks among the top ten U.S. ports for automobiles and fresh produce. Port operations support the community by bringing $1.7 billion in economic activity and creating 15,834 trade-related jobs. Trade through the Port of Hueneme generates more than $119 million in direct and related state and local taxes, which fund vital community services. In 2017, the Port of Hueneme became the first port in California to become Green Marine certified.
