\u201cThis project enhances cargo capacity and efficiency while improving the sustainability of port operations,\u201d said Los Angeles Harbor Commission President Lucille Roybal-Allard.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s yet another step forward toward both our productivity and clean air goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFewer transfers of cargo results in cleaner operations and more fluidity on our container terminals,\u201d said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project will make us more competitive and add to our ability to pursue more discretionary cargo headed for the interior of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment ensures that there is adequate on-dock intermodal capacity to accommodate future volume growth, enabling POLA and FMS to further compete for discretionary cargo in an environmentally and community responsible way,\u201d said George Goldman, President & CEO of CMA CGM (America).<\/p>\n
The project will add five loading \/ unloading tracks in the intermodal yard at the Pier 300 terminal. The improvement will increase on-dock railyard capacity, enabling more cargo to be loaded directly onto trains via the on-dock railyard within the terminal. Rail is the most energy and fuel-efficient means of long-haul freight movement within the continental U.S.<\/p>\n
Other improvements involved in the project include grading and paving, fire protection, electrical improvements, striping and signage, and additional storm drain design elements for Low Impact Development compliance.<\/p>\n
Grant funding for the project includes approximately $18 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration and $19 million from California\u2019s Trade Corridor Enhancement Program. The Port of Los Angeles will provide the balance of the funding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn January 2022, CMA CGM reacquired 100% of the Fenix Marine Services (FMS) container terminal in the Port of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
One of the largest terminals in the U.S. in one of the country’s most strategic gateways, FMS\u2019 strategic deep-water location and first-class infrastructure are the foundation of the terminal’s ongoing development and investment program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
