Port of Los Angeles to begin construction on Yusen Terminal improvements

The Port of Los Angeles is to start construction this summer on a two-year project to improve the marine container terminal operated by Yusen Terminals LLC.

The Los Angeles Board of Harbour Commissioners has awarded a US$44.6m contract to upgrade berths, and backlands at Berths 212-224.

Port executive director, Gene Seroka, said: “This project consists of strategic improvements to make Yusen a more agile terminal and strengthen our competitive edge. In addition to making the best use of port property, it incorporates green features and practices that further our commitment to the highest environmental standards.”
