America's Port blog launched
**Attn readers: America's Port Blog Launched**
Slated to begin April 6th at 10p, America’s Port provides an unblinking view of this vibrant and colorful nerve center for global trade. Gain access to the high-tech control rooms that coordinate thousands of calculated ship movements each year. Climb aboard a container ship with chief port pilot Michael Rubino, who stays calm while chaos erupts around him, and comb through cargo with U.S. Customs Port Director Todd Hoffman. Stay alongside the LA Port Police, one of the few police forces in the nation dedicated exclusively to 24/7 port activities, as they investigate a rape case, conduct bomb sweeps under wharfs or dive into the harbor in search of missing persons.
A new blog has been launched surrounding the channel's newest series. There you will hear from producer Molly Mayock and the rest of her production crew on what it was like filming inside America's largest port. Additionally there will be video, quizzes, profiles of the port workers and more.

This series is great
I was watching the episode that profiled HKG and the Nike manufacturing operations. There was a problem with the information in the program. A map was displayed demonstrating the route from China to The Port of Los Angeles. The problem is they displayed the name as POLA. With regard to international trade, the correct abbreviation is LGB. I am the Branch Trainer for my Expeditors branch and am encouraging my employees to watch the show, so it would be great if the information is 100% accurate.
Thanks so much! I love the show and would love to see less of the "fluff" and more of the trade-related subjects.
Have a Great Day!

I love the series. I'm in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and enjoy seeing the USCG at work. I've also spent many years around the harbor and you are taking me places that I can't go on my own. I hope this series goes on for many years. Is there any thought of releasing a CD of the 2008 season?
I appeared on the show # 106, I was portrayed in a very poor light. Don't believe everythig you hear or see. I'm a commercial fisherman and happened to be sleeping aboard our boat after a long night's fishing, when I woke up a port police officer had his gun pointed at me (officer fererra) was dragged off the boat, where I was questioned and released.
