International Transportation Service (ITS) initiated a $365 million terminal expansion project at the Port of Long Beach on July 11, 2025, aimed at increasing cargo-handling capacity and efficiency, according to the company's release.
The project involves filling a 19-acre slip at the Pier G terminal with approximately 2.5 million cubic yards of reused sediment from the Harbor District and Newport Harbor.
This will create a continuous 3,400-foot wharf, enabling the terminal to accommodate two of the largest cargo ships simultaneously.
The project is expected to be completed by late 2028.
