Port Los Angeles

Port Los Angeles is a large seaport complex covering a land area of 30,35 km2 (11,72 mi2) with around 69 km (43 mi) long waterfront. LA port adjoins the separate Port Long Beach. Port's main imports are furniture, auto parts, footwear-apparel, electronics. Main exports are wastepaper, scrap metal, cotton, animal feed. The largest cargo shipping volumes come from East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam).

LA port district is an independent department of the city's government. It is controlled by Board of Harbor Commissioners consisting of 5 members and 1 executive director. They are all appointed by the city mayor and approved by the city council. All vessels are assisted by professional harbor pilots. Port's safety is guaranteed by dedicated Port Police, LA Fire Department (fire-EMS services), USCG (waterway security), Homeland Security (federal land) and LA County Lifeguards (open waters outside the harbor).

Port Los Angeles is located in San Pedro Bay, in LA's neighborhoods San Pedro and Wilmington. The seaport is approx 32 km (20 mi) south of downtown LA. It employs 896,000+ people (throughout LA) and 3,6+ million worldwide. The worth of seaport's annually shipped cargoes is ~USD 1,2 billion. Cargo volumes represent ~43% of the USA's total imported cargoes, ranking LA as USA's largest container port and the world's 16th largest (9th when combined with Long Beach).

Channel depth (53 ft / 16 m) allows access to the world's largest container ships , tankers and bulk cargo carriers. The port has a total of 23 cargo terminals (270 deepwater berths), 9 container terminals (with 77 gantry cranes) and on-site railway system (total length 182 km / 113 mi). In 2012 was completed a dredging project for deepening the main shipping channel to the current 16 m (53 ft). With its arrival in November 2013, the boxship CMA CGM Corte Real made a new North American record for call port cargo handling (10,000+ TEU moves).

In August 2017, the Port reported record-breaking container shipping volumes of 847,857 TEU-containers (6,1% increase over August 2016). August 2017 became the second-busiest month in the Port's history, following January 2017 when the container cargo volumes climbed by 9% over January 2016, with handled 8,8 million TEUs. The previous record (2013) was 7,9 million TEUs.

For FY2017, the seaport reported a record year for cargo shipping - 9,343 million TEUs (5,5% increase over 2016). Among the implemented in 2017 technology upgrades was "Port Optimizer" (online portal developed by GE Transportation). It collects and stores key cargo data to facilitate better harbor tracking. Infrastructural upgrades were completed at the terminals TraPac and Yusen.

World Cruise Center (San Pedro) is located beneath Vincent Thomas Bridge (length 6060 ft / 1847 m). The suspension bridge crosses LA Harbor and links San Pedro with the man-made Terminal Island. San Pedro cruise port has 3 berths and serves 1+ million passengers annually, ranking it West Coast USA's largest cruise terminal. Popular waterfront attractions located nearby are USS Iowa Museum, Los Angeles Maritime Museum, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. They are all linked to the cruise port via pedestrian promenade. Shuttle bus service (provided by Waterfront Red Car Line) is a 2,5 km /(1,5 mi) long vintage trolley line along the waterfront connecting cruise terminals with downtown, Ports O'Call Village (shopping/dining complex) and San Pedro Marina.

LA Waterfront is a tourist-serving destination funded and maintained by LA port. In 2009 were approved development programs for San Pedro and Wilmington waterfronts (officially "LA Waterfront"). The area consists of 1,6 km2 (0,63 mi2) San Pedro and Wilmington properties, miles-long promenade and walking paths, large open space areas, LA Waterfront project's construction works started in 2017 and were completed in 2020. This port development project (budgeted USD 90 million) was fully paid by Port Los Angeles.

On March 9, 2023, started construction works on the Port's "Front Street Beautification Project" (budget US$10,3 million) scheduled for completion in 2024. This is among several port development projects aiming to enhance connectivity and public access between the waterfronts of LA and both San Pedro and Wilmington, by building a new pedestrian linkage (22-ft/7-m-wide multi-use pathway) used for walking, jogging, and cycling, as well as new lighting and landscaping. The new pathway starts at the northeast corner of Front Str and Pacific Ave (north of Vincent Thomas Bridge). The project also included a new 5-ft/1,5-m wide strip along Front Street.

The Cunard ship RMS Queen Mary 2 is currently port's largest cruise liner. The ever-largest liner homeported in LA is RCI-Royal Caribbean 's Mariner of the Seas . In 2009-2011, the 3835-passenger ship operated regularly scheduled 7-day roundtrips to Mexican Riviera ports. However, due to increased violence in Mexico, in 2011 the liner was relocated to the Caribbean (homeported in Galveston TX ). In 2021, RCI plans to homeport in LA Voyager of the Seas (June through December) for 3-4-night roundtrips to Mexico. Voyager OTS and Mariner OTS are sisterships.

In 2004, Port LA installed its first Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) berth, providing shore-to-ship power up to 40 MW. It allows city-grid power supply for 2 vessels simultaneously. The facility also supplies with power 3 container terminals. The technology (by Nidec Corporation, Japan) enables docked vessels to receive electricity from the city's power grid. From the berth, vessels can plug-in directly to the grid for full onboard operations without using diesel engines or gas turbines (being shut down right after docking). The Japanese company has installed such shorepower systems in the ports San Francisco CA , Juneau AK , Goteborg , Travemunde , Livorno , Genoa . In 2018 was completed the system's upgrade for providing more electricity for larger-sized cruise vessels. Shoreside power was installed at berths 91 and 93, where 2 docked liners can be connected simultaneously. Utility bills (to LA's Department of Water and Power) are paid by the seaport, which then invoices the shipowner/terminal operator for reimbursement. The estimated monthly electricity cost is minimum USD 11250 (annual US$125,000). The Port has 30+ electrified berths where boxships and refrigerated cargo carriers can use shoreside power.

In November 2017, Pier 400 (APM Terminals in Port Los Angeles) reported a single-vessel cargo record during the call of the containership Maersk Evora (a total of 24,846 TEUs loaded and offloaded over a period of 128 hours. The vessel docked at Pier 400 on October 19, calling LA as part of the Europe-Far East service AE6/TP6. On December 26, 2015, while the boxship CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin was berthed here, the terminal handled a total of 11,200 TEUs over a 56-hour period.

In 2018, in Los Angeles was homeported its ever-largest liner so far - NCL 's Alaskan ship Norwegian Bliss (2018-built, 326 m long, 168,000 tons, 4900 passengers + 1700 crew). The maiden port call was on May 25, ending here a 15-day Panama Canal repositioning from Miami Florida . Following the Alaskan season's end (October), NCL Bliss had scheduled all four 7-day roundtrips from Los Angeles to Mexican Riviera ports (Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo), with departures October 13, 20, 27.

• FY2020-21 ended with the record 10,879383 million TEUs (+12% compared to FY2018-19).

In October 2019, Port Los Angeles announced plans for an Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal project (berths 46 and 50). The development project includes the construction of a new passenger terminal on LA Waterfront's south end. The 13-acres/5,3-hectares site is currently used as a special event venue and a temporary dock for cruise liners. Optional for the developer would be to operate year-round the existing LA cruise terminal (berths 91-93) and seasonally the facilities at berths 54-55.

• In 2012 was launched the "Green Ship Program" to attract the cleanest ships (Tier III classed). The program (initially planned through June 2022, later extended through June 30, 2024) offers rewards to shipowners/operators (based on engine and fuel types) ranging/per port call from US$600 to US$9000.
• In 2005 was launched the "Vessel Speed Reduction" (aka "Green Flag Program") that rewards vessels for slowing their speeds to 12 knots (14 mph/22 kph) within 20-40 NM/nautical miles of Point Fermin. By this program are offered dockage fee discounts (15%-25%, respectively, for 20-40 NM). In 2021, ~94% of all ships complied within 20 NM and ~88% within 40 NM.
• Both programs (Green Ship and Green Flag) are voluntary.

In 2017, Port Long Beach reported a record year for its cargo shipping volumes, handling 7,54+ million TEUs (11% increase over 2016's 6,775171M TEUs). In November alone, through the port were moved 612,659 TEUs (+14,7% over Nov 2016). Long Beach is among the world's largest cargo ports and USA's gateway for Transpacific (USA-Asia) shipping trade.

The previous record (24,846 TEUs) was on Evora Maersk in October 2017. Port Long Beach's Pier 400 APM terminal (sized 2 km2) is one of the few fitted with large gantry cranes that can serve such boxships with 10 high (TEUs) above deck stowage. These cranes can reach 22 container rows across the beam of these mega-ships.

On April 30, 2019, Long Beach Container Terminal (LBCT LLC) was sold for USD 1,78 billion to a consortium led by Macquarie Infrastructure Management Inc (USA).

Los Angeles cruise terminal

The ships dock at two Los Angeles cruise ports – Port of Los Angeles (San Pedro) and Port of Long Beach. More popular Los Angeles cruise port is the Word Cruise Center at San Pedro.

(NEW) Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal (Los Angeles)

In early-October 2019 were announced plans for the construction of a new cruise terminal in LA (adjacent to Cabrillo Way Marina and a boat repair yard). Currently, the building is used as an event space and only occasionally for cruise berthing.

The new cruise port bidder (developer) will upgrade and enlarge the terminal’s existing facilities and berths and will manage the dock/wharf and all day-to-day operations.

In January 2020 were officially announced the plans for two new terminals (in the Outer Harbor) - Berth 45 and Berth 50. They both will have capacity to handle ships with LOA length 335 m (1100 ft), and max capacity 5000 passengers/each. Both facilities are planned as multifunctional - to double as event spaces (during no-ship days and off-season) housing musical concerts, exhibitions, conferences, etc. By this project, both berths (concrete wharves) will be upgraded with shoreside power (cold ironing) capabilities and dedicated parking areas.

In February 2023, LA Port released a draft RFP/Request for Proposals for Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal's development and for the existing World Cruise Center's redevelopment (Inner Harbor Cruise Terminal).

World Cruise Center Terminals (San Pedro)

The two terminals of World Cruise Center are 18 mi (29 km) away from LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), direction South. The first Los Angeles cruise port terminal has two berths 91 and 92. the second one has only one - 93. Two or three larger cruise ships can dock here.

San Pedro Terminal's address is: "Port of Los Angeles, Berths 91-93, World Cruise Center, San Pedro, CA 90731".

Parking is USD 15 per day (Port Authority prices are subject to change). The facilities in the San Pedro terminal include check-in, cafes, bars, shops, parking area, taxi ranks.

Long Beach Cruise Terminal (Carnival)

The second Los Angeles cruise ship terminal is located approx 23 mi (37 km) away from LAX, and 5 mi (8 km) away from World Cruise Center Terminals. It was inaugurated in 2003 for Carnival Corporation ships exclusively. The white dome building (former Spruce Goose aeroplane dome) now houses the cruise terminal (Pier H).

Facilities here include bars, cafes, restaurants, shops, check-in, parking space, taxi ranks. Long Beach Terminal's address: is "Port of Long Beach, 231 Windsor Way, Long Beach, CA 90802". Parking is USD 17 per day (Port Authority prices are subject to change).

In October 2016, Carnival Cruise Line signed an agreement with Port Long Beach and with the landlord (Urban Commons) to expand the "Long Beach Cruise Terminal" facility in order to accommodate larger vessels and enhance terminal operations.

Carnival operates Long Beach terminal since 2003, but using only part of the Geodesic Dome (former museum). The new agreement gave the company 100% use of the Dome (customs and passenger check-in) for its cruise operations.

Construction works started on April 12, 2017. Renovations increased the facility from approx 66,000 to 142,000 ft2 (6130 to 13190 m2). Following the improvements, Long Beach Cruise Terminal now allows docking of larger-sized vessels and also provides additional space for 2-way passenger shipping operations. This enables embarking passengers to access the facility prior to completion of the previous cruise disembarkation process.

Development plans also included expansion of portside cold-ironing capacity to accommodate larger vessels. Shore power allows berthed cruise ships to shut down their main diesel engines and plug into the city's electrical grid, using hydroelectricity for all the onboard services. The technology greatly reduces exhaust emissions in port.

Carnival also made enhancements to the area surrounding the Dome and the adjacent "RMS Queen Mary" (former Cunard liner) city attraction. Terminal's parking capacity was also expanded to accommodate future growth. The multi-million dollar renovated and expanded Carnival cruise terminal was reopened on February 10, 2018. with the arrival of Carnival Splendor . The berth was also electrified (equipped with shoreside electrical power).

In 2017, Carnival had 3 vessels homeported year-round in LA (Long Beach) - Inspiration and Imagination (both for short Baja Mexico cruises) and Miracle (for Mexican Riviera, Hawaii and Alaskan roundtrips).

The San Pedro Cruise Terminal has a long history and many people's first images of cruising were formed here when they watched "The Love Boat" depart from here on TV each week. Today, the terminal serves more than 1 million cruise passengers annually making it the largest cruise ship terminal on the west coast of the United States.

World Cruise Center

The Port of Los Angeles World Cruise Center began life as a freight and passenger terminal for the American President Lines. It was later converted into a cruise ship facility and became home to the “Love Boat” . As the size and number of cruises ships increased, the cruise ship center underwent a 21 million dollar major renovation and improvement project in 2003. Today the Port of Los Angeles World Cruise Center serves as the West Coast’s largest cruise port with hundreds of thousands of passengers using the facility. It can accommodate the biggest cruise ships. The Port of Los Angeles World Cruise Center is located at 100 Swinford St. near the corner of Swinford Street and Harbor Boulevard and is easily reached from the Harbor Boulevard off-ramp of the Harbor (110) and CA-47 freeways. The first hour of parking is free. After the first hour, parking is $2.00 per hour with a maximum of $20.00/per day.

Local News | South Bay history: Exotic journeys start from LA port’s World Cruise Center

Its traffic is such that the port is attempting to build an additional cruise ship berth in the Outer Harbor to handle the overflow and serve larger ships.

The Los Angeles Harbor has always had a pleasure cruise trade since the early 1900s, when ships carried passengers to Catalina Island. Completed in 1920, the Catalina Terminal on Water Street, in Wilmington, was one of the first facilities built specifically for tourist travel.

That same year, the Los Angeles Steamship Co. was founded, initially to offer passenger cruises from LA to San Francisco on its ships, the Yale and the Harvard, based at Berth 155. In 1922, the company began passenger service to Honolulu on its City of Los Angeles steamship.

Individual cruise line companies continued operating from various berths at the port, but there was no centralized passenger terminal.

By the 1940s, American President Lines had established one of the port’s largest cruise passenger operations at Berths 153 and 154 on Mormon Island. But on June 22, 1947, the tanker ship Markay exploded while taking on fuel at the Shell Oil terminal, across the channel at Berth 167. Flaming fuel from the exploding ship raced across the 600-foot wide waterway to the APL terminal buildings, which were destroyed.

The Port of Los Angeles’ then-new combination passenger-cargo terminal occupies a 50-acre site on the harbor’s main channel in this March 19, 1963 photo. The building has cargo facilities on the first floor and passenger accommodations on the second level, reached by ramps, elevators, stairways and escalators. A second structure in the complex, seen in background, is a 1008 x 200 foot cargo shed, (Credit: Los Angeles Public Library Photo Collection)

APL responded by building a new $4.3 million terminal on the eight-acre site of the former one. The state-of-the-art buildings opened in 1950 and included the largest passenger/cargo terminal in the harbor.

APL’s terminal served the cruise lines for the next decade, but in 1958, the port decided the time finally had come to build a central cruise ship terminal complex. The new $15 million complex would be constructed on a 50-acre site at Berths 91 to 93 on the main channel, just south of the Vincent Thomas Bridge.

The gigantic main terminal was dedicated in March 1963, eight months before the bridge opened. The Port of Los Angeles owned the facility, but management and operations were conducted by Consolidated Marine, a consortium of cruise ship operators, including APL and Pacific Far East Line.

The rectangular, $4.3 million two-story building, 100 Swinford St., devoted its upper level for cruise travel operations and its lower level for cargo. A spectators gallery was built on the upper level, along with two vehicle bridges up from ground level. The Berth 93 structure was remodeled and expanded in 2002.

The construction of the separate Catalina Sea and Air Terminal, just north of it at Berth 95, in 1966 continued the process of centralizing passenger services in the port. Its current building on the site was erected in 2012.

The 1980s brought about a cruise ship boom, fueled in part by television’s “Love Boat” and the cruise industry’s development of ever-larger and more luxurious ships, which resulted in a 400% increase in passengers in Los Angeles from 1979 to 1988.

The port responded by building a new $11 million passenger terminal just south of the original one. It opened on April 29, 1988, with the cruise ship Azure Seas as its first arrival. The new building, dedicated solely to passenger ships, had a friendlier and less industrial feel than its predecessor.

It was built through a cooperative lease agreement involving six companies: Princess Cruises, Admiral Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Viking Line, Sitmar Cruises and Cunard Line. (Carnival moved its operations from the Port of Los Angeles to the Port of Long Beach in 2003.)

As cruise ships continued to grow larger in size, some limitations to the World Cruise Terminal began to appear in the early 2000s. It turns out the 185-foot-high Vincent Thomas Bridge is too low for some of the newer ships, which can be 200 feet tall or higher, to pass under in order to turn around when they leave the port. Instead, larger ships need to exit the area by going backward, as the Queen Mary 2 had to do in 2006.

Port of Los Angeles officials first confirmed that they had been looking at a proposal to create a new passenger terminal at the entrance to the Main Channel in 2003. They’re still discussing building the Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal 20 years later.

The 13-acre site, encompassing Berths 46 and 50, 3011 Miner St., sits across the West Channel from Cabrillo Beach and Cabrillo Marina, in San Pedro, and some in the community have complained that the giant ships that would moor there would mar the ocean views in the area.

Debate continued until 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic brought a sudden halt to cruise ship operations and further development of the Outer Harbor was tabled for two years.

The Port of Los Angeles still sees the Outer Harbor facility as a key part of its strategy to grow the cruise ship business. The cruise industry resumed operations last year, which most likely will lead to further attempts to make the port’s Outer Harbor plans a reality.

Uber from Los Angeles/San Pedro Cruise Port

By Therese S. , October 25, 2023 in West Coast Departures

Recommended Posts

We are doing the 7 day CA Coastal from SF on the Crown and have been wait-listed for two months now for an excursion to the Getty Center in LA.  In case we dont clear the wait list when we board on Sunday,  I'm trying to make a backup plan. 

Questions -

Are Uber's allowed into the LA San Pedro Cruise port?

When using the Uber app to get an estimate of cost, two addresses for the cruise port pop up-  one listed as 100 Swinford St San Pedro, the other 425 S Palos Verdes St San Pedro.  Which is the correct address for Uber pickup?

Any suggestions for the best place to wait?  Should we go out onto the street or stay at the terminal?

Depending on which terminal you are docking at (usually 92 or 93) the 100 Swinford St is the main terminal.  Stay at the terminal.  They will  pick you up there.

A friend we met this month cruising did in fact take an uber home from the San Pedro port she lives in Los Angeles.  That being said the uber went to the wrong ship at first and I am not certain which address to use.  Maybe call customer service or hopefully someone else can provide that answer here.  Happy cruising!

November 1st? The Port of L.A. has the Crown scheduled for berth 92 which is along the channel at the World Cruise Center. The large parking, drop off and pick up area is off of Swinford Ave. I would think pick up/drop off would be right in front of the pier on the access road. You can see this on Google Maps. Google World Cruise Center, San Pedro  CA. When you order Uber make certain you include the pier number and the ship. Another Oceana ship is scheduled to be at berth 93 directly in front of the Crown. It could be busy. I would think that drivers know this area very well. Ships are there all the time. 

The meat of the question here is that you don't know how to find out where you will berth and you don't tell us which date you will be here to tell you. If you knew how to find out, you wouldn't need to ask. For future reference, this is a handy link to have and most ports post their schedule online.

https://www.portsamerica.com/operations/cruise-los-angeles-terminal-schedule

First, you'll need to know which 7 day Crown California Coast sailings you will be on. Then know which date you will be in LA. Find which berth you will be. @skynight is correct, on Nov 1st, you will be at berth 92, which is the Palos Verdes address BTW. but know for your sailing if different. The address on Swinford is 93. When you make reservations, at least with Opoli, the company we use, just tell them the  LA cruise terminal and berth. When you get outside, you'll see people waiting for rides, that's the place. Do not walk out to Harbor Blvd.

Funny, we live in LA and enjoy the Arts, but have never been to the Getty. Can't help with that part. Enjoy!

Bruin Steve

We use Uber often to get to and from the pier in San Pedro...In fact we'll use it both ways home to ship and back for our upcoming December 1 cruise.  We've NEVER had a problem. 

Palos Verdes is actually a street two blocks west of the cruise terminal...but, when you google that address, it takes you to berth 93 somehow.  Swinford is actually the street that the cruise terminal entry is on.  If I had to input an address in the app, I'd probably just type in "Berth __, World Cruise Center, San Pedro"...BUT...

You really don't need the address.  Just walk out to the curb outside the terminal and log on to the Uber (or Lyft) app.  The system GPS will tell THEM exactly where you are...and it gives you the type and color of car, driver's name and license plate...then just watch for your car.  The road in front of all of the berths is a one-way loop.  All approacing cars come from your left.

The apps also have a feature allowing you to message or call your driver...and, since you can also track where he/she is and how many minutes away, you can also clear that issue up if it says the car is there and you don't see it.

Thank you everyone for your help and tips.  I'm very new to Uber.  We've been to the San Pedro cruise port multiple times but always boarding for the start of a cruise, never a port stop.  Its always seems so crazy and hectic.  Still hoping we clear the waitlist
