The Port of Los Angeles is seeking proposals for the pre-development of Pier 500, a proposed stand-alone marine container terminal along the Pier 400 Channel.
The proposed terminal, just south of Pier 400, would be a 200-acre site with two berths and approximately 3,000 linear feet of new available wharf. The site is on the southern tip of the Port’s Terminal Island and would allow for larger cargo ships.
“For the first time in a generation, the Port of Los Angeles plans to build a new container terminal to meet global supply chain demand for decades into the future,” Gene Seroka, Port of Los Angeles executive director, said. “The development of the cleanest terminal possible would enhance our efficiency and sustainability while creating new jobs in our communities.”
The port has been exploring proposed plans for decades that would add cargo capacity and identified a submerged site of 124 acres. Infrastructure was added during the construction of the adjacent Pier 400 before it was completed in 2002.
Proposals are due by 3 p.m. on Jan. 29. The selected company will enter into a public-private pre-development agreement with the port to determine the project’s financial feasibility, procure entitlements and other requirements.
