After 105 Years, We Continue to Make History
Over this decade, the Port will invest more than $4 billion in projects
that are sure to be in the history books a century from now.
Middle Harbor Redevelopment Project
A modernization project that will create a state-of-the-art container
facility with unprecedented on-dock rail capacity, shore power hookups
and ability to move twice the amount of cargo while producing half
the air pollution. Phase 1 opens in April 2016; Phase 2 is expected to be
completed by 2019.
Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project
The Port is building a new bridge to span its Main Channel. Scheduled to
be completed in 2018, the new bridge will have a higher vertical clearance
of 205 feet, allowing larger, more modern ships to reach the Port’s back
channel terminals.
Green Port Gateway Rail Project
Improving the Port’s rail system is a
major component of the Port’s capital
improvement program. The $83.7 million
Green Port Gateway project added
another railroad track and realigned
tracks and roadway near Ocean Boulevard
to improve traffic flow and better serve
Middle Harbor, Pier G and Pier J.
Long Beach Harbor Deepening Project
The Port has one of the deepest main
channels of any seaport in North America,
and a recent dredging project has extended
the channel and widened a key turning
basin. The project has provided a minimum
depth of 76 feet (23.2 meters) from 2 miles
outside the harbor entrance into the
Middle Harbor and East Basin.
On-Dock Rail Support Facility
Five of the Port’s six container terminals have on-dock rail. The Port
plans to redevelop an existing rail yard on Pier B to improve rail traffic
and increase on-dock rail use throughout the Port, reducing truck trips.
The project would reconfigure existing tracks to allow for the staging of
8,000-foot to 10,000-foot trains.
Mission:
The Port of Long Beach is a world leader in goods
movement, environmental stewardship and
economic prosperity.
Vision:
To be an innovative provider of premier seaport
facilities that enhance economic vitality and improve
quality of life and the environment.
Who we are:
Opened for business in 1911, the Port is managed
by the City of Long Beach Harbor Department.
The Board of Harbor Commissioners leases
Port land to private firms for the operation of
terminal facilities.
The Port uses no tax revenue to operate. It
receives revenue from customer leases and
reinvests the majority of its net income into Port
development.
About the Port:
The second-busiest seaport in the United States.
A major gateway for U.S.-Asian trade.
A recognized environmental leader, with
industry-leading environmental programs such
as the award-winning Green Port Policy.
