The Port of Long Beach (POLB) is a major seaport serving as a “Gateway to the Pacific” for Southern California and our nation. The POLB operates as a land-lord port with a variety of tenants, including container terminals, dry bulk terminals, liquid bulk terminals, oil terminals, break bulk, roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) terminals, and an auto terminal. The POLB Engineering Design Division (EDD) is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the assets on the piers, wharves, waterways, and backlands. These include the underwater surface, wet and dry utilities, roadways, rail, buildings for administration and life safety functions, and the wharf/waterfront structures with all accompanying elements. Our paper will focus on the POLB’s wharf inspection, repair, rehabilitation, and upgrade program that will be part of the POLB’s overall Asset Management Program (AMP) and Cathodic Protection Program (CPP). We will discuss POLB’s Port-Wide Fender and Bollard Upgrade Study. We will outline policies to employ operational constraints, repairs requested, maintenance costs, and upgrades to port tenants. In addition, we will provide a framework on how it ties into the Port Climate Adaptation and Coastal Resiliency Plan (CRP).
