The Port of Long Beach will construct six mega container terminals during the coming decade to respond to a forecast of doubling in international trade. The effort will expand the Port's container acreage area by 900 acres and combine existing areas to create terminals over 300 acres in size. This paper outlines the different terminals and the steps to be taken by Port staff to build new and expanded facilities. When completed, the projects are expected to cost approximately $2 billion. This effort is in addition to other ongoing capital improvements the Port will be undertaking during the decade to modernize and continue to lead the nation in container traffic.
