SAN PEDRO — The Port of Los Angeles is inviting comments on a draft Request for Proposals OR RFP for the future development of a new outer harbor cruise terminal and redevelopment of the existing World Cruise Center on the LA Waterfront.
The Port is already experiencing a post-COVID cruise industry rebound, with 229 cruise ship calls in 2022, the most since 2008. Such calls are expected to rise to an estimated 250 by 2026 and include larger ships carrying more passengers.
The RFP scope includes development, redevelopment and management of all cruise operations at the port. The planned project will entail development of a new outer harbor cruise terminal at Berths 45-51, at the end of Miner St. (also AKA Dave Arian Way) a site that offers panoramic views of the coastline and Catalina Island. It consists of 13 acres of backland, two existing wharves and 14 acres of associated off-site parking. A new Environmental Impact Report or EIR may be required as part of the outer harbor terminal development process.
The existing Los Angeles World Cruise Center, also called the inner harbor cruise terminal, will be redeveloped under the RFP scope as well. Located at Berths 87-93, it consists of 22 acres, two existing cruise berths, two existing terminal buildings and a baggage handling structure.
The deadline to submit comments is at 3 p.m., March 3
