Palos Verdes Street San Pedro, CA 90731 (310) SEA-PORT CURRENT TOPICS Port of Los Angeles Mitigation Programs Port of Los Angeles Environmental Management Policy Tour the Red Car Photo Gallery! Bird's Eye View of the Port of Los Angeles The Port of Los Angeles is a department of the City of Los Angeles and is often referred to as the Los Angeles Harbor Department. The Port is operated and managed under a State Tidelands Trust that grants local municipalities jurisdiction over ports and stipulates that activities must be related to commerce, navigation and fisheries. A five-member Board of Harbor Commissioners are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Los Angeles City Council to provide direction and create policy for the Port. As a proprietary and self-supporting department, the Port is not supported by taxes. Instead, revenue is derived from fees for shipping services such as dockage, wharfage, pilotage, storage, property rentals, royalties and other Port services. Considered a landlord port, the Port of Los Angeles leases it property to tenants who then, in turn, operate their own facilities. The Port is proud of its 27 major cargo terminals, including facilities to handle automobiles, containers, dry bulk products and liquid bulk products. Combined, these terminals handle more than 120 million metric revenue tons of cargo representing some $102 billion. Eight modern container facilities together handle in excess of five million units of cargo containers annually, making the Port one of the top 10 busiest ports in the world. With cargo volume forecasted to dramatically increase, the Port has embarked on extensive modernization of existing facilities and development of new terminals. The Port's Pier 400 project has helped to position the Port to handle the projected growth in international trade, creating nearly 600 acres of new land including a container terminal comprising nearly 500 acres. The Port's position as a leading seaport in international trade, combined with its dedication to the environment and excellent management structure, are primary reasons for its AA bond rating, the highest assigned to any U.S. seaport operating without taxpayer support. It's a logical scenario: The nation's number one containerport is now home to the world's largest proprietary container terminal, Pier400. This kind of vision is needed in the port industry today as ports all over the world are laboring to accommodate the changing demands of shippers and carriers. At the Port of Los Angeles, development plans are moving along to take care of the growing volumes of imports and exports which are expected to double in the near future with even greater efficiency. While the Port of Los Angeles' world-class reputation is based on its commitment to remaining on the cutting edge of port development and meeting the demands of the global community, this commitment comes with an enormous responsibility to the environment. The Port of Los Angeles carefully considers the incorporation of environmental measures so that development is carried out in an environmentally responsible manner. In addition to meeting -- and in many cases, exceeding -- environmental regulations and industrial compliance, the Port of Los Angeles strives to ensure lasting environmental preservation. With a history of leadership in the environmental arena, Los Angeles became the first port authority in the nation to create an Environmental Management Division in 1973. This division reviews all projects proposed within its jurisdiction to assure compliance with environmental laws and proposed methods to minimize project impacts. Balancing growth and development with environmental considerations is the challenge the Port of Los Angeles must address every day. This is accomplished through more efficient cargo-handling operations, improved infrastructure, and biological, industrial and internal environmental programs - all part of making a difference at the Port of Los Angeles. Whether you want to take a cruise, visit a museum, unload some cargo or move a box by rail, the Port of Los Angeles offers a number of facilities designed for passengers, recreation, cargo and rail needs. Its World Cruise Center is the largest and busiest facility of its kind on the West Coast serving a million passengers a year. The Port plans a 20-acre expansion of the facility, which will include an opportunity to create a new waterfront commercial/retail business just south of the cruise center. Recreational facilities are also available at the Port. You can stroll around a marina, splash around at the beach or marvel at huge mammals on a whalewatching expedition. The Port's five intermodal railyards contribute strongly to reduced truck traffic and the smooth flow of cargo to and from docks. Twenty-nine excellent cargo facilities at the Port feature the most efficient and state-of-the-art technologies. Each terminal is committed to meeting customer requirements, both for additional spac and the latest advances in technology. Whether it's moving containers of shoes, clothing or toys, or shipping cement, steel or cotton, the Port of Los Angeles can handle it all. For ports today, success lies in offering the fullest possible menu of services to international traders. Few can match the resources of the Port of Los Angeles, with its huge base of business and support services. International trade and logistics are constantly changing, but the Port's commitment to meeting the needs of its customers remains constant.
