Upgrading infrastructure in advance of the next generation of container ships requires advanced planning and assumptions. Since the Port of Long Beach is strategically located to receive the largest Pacific Ocean vessels, an analysis of the impacts from the next generation of vessels on their infrastructure was conducted, which looked at the marine-side requirements for a 12,000+ TEU vessel such as channel and berth dimensions plus wharf infrastructure. Additionally, landside infrastructure was assessed for needed improvements including terminal size and equipment needs. The resulting recommendations laid out a schedule of additional studies plus design and construction documents to pursue over a 15-year horizon.
