To this end, POLA has issued an RFP<\/a> for a new Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal and the redevelopment of the World Cruise Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen increased demand for cruises out of the LA Waterfront over the last several years, with a record 1.3 million cruise passengers in 2023,\u201d said Gene Seroka, port executive director.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith more growth forecast, these projects will allow us to greatly expand our cruise business capacity while providing the best possible experience and convenience for cruise travellers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Better connected<\/strong><\/p>\n

The proposed new Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal site \u2013 a cornerstone project in the recently approved San Pedro Waterfront Connectivity Plan \u2013 is located at 3011 Dave Arian Way in San Pedro and includes Berths 46 to 50.<\/p>\n

It consists of 13 acres of backland, two existing wharves, and 20 acres of associated potential off-site parking with an estimated 2,300 spaces.<\/p>\n

For this new proposed terminal, the port is seeking a flexible design to accommodate a variety of additional non-cruise revenue-producing uses in the off-season, such as filming, conferences and events.<\/p>\n

The existing World Cruise Center to be redeveloped is located at 100 Swinford Street in San Pedro. The terminal site consists of 22 acres, including parking, two cruise berths (Berths 90-93), two terminal buildings and a baggage handling structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past 20 years, our port has invested over US$1 billion in enhancing, operating and programming LA Waterfront infrastructure,\u201d said Mike Gavin, the port\u2019s director of waterfront and commercial real estate development.<\/p>\n

\u201dThese two proposed cruise terminal projects represent the next stage of that investment and the continued transformation of the waterfront into a dynamic and multi-use visitor destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interested parties can tour the sites on 23 July, with proposals due by 12 November 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
