The Los Angeles Harbor Commission certified the final environmental impact report and approved the proposed expansion of the port’s APL terminal operated by long-time tenant Eagle Marine Services.
Due to begin in late 2012, the $196 million redevelopment project at the facility, commonly known as Pier 300, will add a further 1,250 feet of new wharf and 41 acres of backlands on existing fill.
The expansion will enable APL to handle nearly 58 percent more ship calls and accommodate more than 65 percent more cargo, increasing annual capacity to more than 3.2 million TEU at the 347-acre site.
