California United Terminals, the terminal operator for Hyundai Merchant Marine at the Port of Long Beach, will move its operations later this year to the APM Terminals facility at the Port of Los Angeles.

Long Beach is moving forward on plans to combine the CUT and LBCT terminals into one large, rectangular facility that will be more conducive to contemporary container operations. Construction on the Middle Harbor project is expected to begin next year.

In a joint statement, CUT and Hyundai Merchant Marine said the move to Los Angeles is being made in part because of concerns about the effect of construction activities in Long Beach.
