Port of Los Angeles completes construction of Everport improvement project

The Port of Los Angeles has completed the construction of the US$65m Everport Terminal Improvement Project, aiming to allow the facility to improve its container handling efficiency and accommodate larger vessels.

The deployment of larger vessels usually encourages fewer ship calls, which should help to reduce emissions at Berths 226-236 and help towards the port’s Clean Air Action Plan goals.

Tony Gioiello, executive director of development at the Port of Los Angeles, said: “The completion of this project marks years of planning and perseverance through a challenging pandemic and unprecedented cargo surge.”
