L.A. Port Terminal Expansion Approved

0

After six years of delays and legal wrangling, China Shipping Holding Co. will finally undergo a massive $85 million expansion at the Port of Los Angeles under a plan approved Thursday by the Board of Harbor Commissioners.

The shipping terminal will be able to process nearly 70 percent more cargo containers while producing fewer diesel emissions over the next two decades, according to the project’s environmental impact report. If the plan was denied, China Shipping likely would have pulled operations out of the Port of Angeles, officials told the harbor commission.

In a related move, the commission awarded a $6.7million construction management contract to Pasadena-based Parsons Water and Infrastructure Inc. to oversee the China Shipping and TraPac terminal expansion projects. The $102 million TraPac expansion plan was approved a year ago.
