Terminal Building Gets a Facelift; Facility Handles\u00a070,000 to 90,000 Metric Tons in Perishables Annually from Chile<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

SAN PEDRO, Calif.\u00a0\u2013\u00a0March 10, 2021\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0The breakbulk terminal building at Berths 54-55 at the Port of Los Angeles has a new fabric membrane roof among other improvements, thanks to nearly $1 million in upgrades completed this month by the Port at the marine terminal operated by SSA Marine.<\/big><\/p>\n

As the main stop for Chilean fruit to the West Coast of the U.S., the SSA Marine terminal serves as an important processing hub for imported grapes, stone fruit, kiwi and avocados from Chile. Between 70,000-90,000 metric tons of perishables go through the facility every winter season.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing equipped to handle breakbulk shipments efficiently for our customers is an important priority at our Port,\u201d said Marcel van Dijk, a Port of Los Angeles cargo marketing manager who oversees cold storage shipments. \u201cU.S. consumers expect fresh produce on grocery shelves year-round and we are committed to having the best possible infrastructure and facilities in place to assure that perishables get to market quickly and expediently.\u201d<\/p>\n

From December through early April, the building is the main staging area for the pallets of Chilean produce off-loaded by specialized refrigerated vessels at the terminal. The Port\u2019s vast network of refrigerated trucking services and cold storage facilities then safeguard the perishable commodities in transit to grocers, produce markets and distribution centers\u2014to as far north as the Canadian Border and Texas to the east.<\/p>\n

For more than 25 years, Chilean growers have relied on the dedicated SSA Marine terminal at the Port of Los Angeles to deliver their fresh produce to North America\u2019s consumer markets.<\/p>\n

The building upgrades involved the demolition of the existing building cover, fabrication and installation of a new fabric membrane roof, replacement of select drywall, and the addition of new exterior lights, door frames and fire doors.\u00a0Rubb Building Systems<\/a>\u00a0completed the upgrades, which were overseen by the Port\u2019s Engineering Division.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Port of Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0remains open with all terminals operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. North America\u2019s leading seaport by container volume and cargo value, the Port of Los Angeles facilitated $276 billion in trade during 2019. San Pedro Bay port complex operations and commerce facilitate one in nine jobs across the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura.<\/p>\n
