International Transportation Service (ITS) "broke ground" last Friday on a terminal expansion project at the Port of Long Beach, aimed at developing more space to stack cargo containers and maximizing efficiency.
By filling an unneeded slip in the middle of the Pier G terminal, the $365 million project will create 19 acres of new land. ITS will also build a single, continuous wharf measuring 3,400 feet, allowing it to simultaneously host two of the industry's largest cargo ships.
"ITS' commitment to further greening its operations, increasing capacity and strengthening its ties to the Port of Long Beach is even stronger than it was nearly 20 years ago, when it became our first to sign a green lease," said Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero. "By 'building more America now,' ITS is also building more land for the Port of Long Beach while expanding capacity and driving efficiency on its terminal."
"This project strengthens America's supply chain by investing in infrastructure the right way using local labor and U.S.-made materials," said ITS Long Beach CEO Kim Holtermand. "We're not just preparing for the future we're building it here, at home. This project positions ITS and the Port of Long Beach to meet global shipping demands while keeping the economic and environmental benefits right here in the U.S."
Located in the outer harbor, the ITS terminal is nearly divided in half by the south slip, which will be filled with about 2.5 million cubic yards of reused sediment from within the Harbor District in addition to sediments dredged from Newport Harbor at Newport Beach. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2028.
