The Port of Los Angeles is seeking proposals to build and operate a new Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal
As the cruise industry continues growing the Port of Los Angeles is seeking proposals to build and operate a new Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal, and redevelop and operate the existing World Cruise Center near the Vincent Thomas Bridge., the area has been viewed as a strategic spot for a second cruise center in San Pedro, offering more space for the larger, more extravagant ships now coming online amid an uptick in the pleasure cruise industry.
And more cruise passengers — and much larger ships, carrying 4,000 passengers or more — are expected over the coming five years, port officials said. The port’s Outer Harbor provides an expansive space for a cornerstone development with a flexible design that could also provide a variety of additional non-cruise, revenue-producing uses in the off-season, such as filming, conferences and events.
The existing World Cruise Center, at 100 Swinford St., meanwhile, consists of 22 acres, including parking, two cruise berths , two terminal buildings and a baggage handling structure. Costing $15 million overall, the main, $4.3 million building was dedicated in 1963., thanks partly to television’s “Love Boat,” but as ships grew bigger and space along the waterfront dwindled, port officials decided it was time to add another terminal.
