Ocean Vessel Operations

APM Terminals Los Angeles Pier 400 offers competitive port stay options for vessels and provide our customers with the best berth productivity supported by our 30 plus crane productivity and 19 Super Post Panamax cranes.

Our service helps ocean carriers maintain reliable service integrity bringing your cargo on time and uninterrupted. Our ocean carrier customers often benefit from our sufficient capacity and do not have to wait for berth or crane availability when their ships arrive with unexpected delays, i.e. due to Asian port congestion or bad weather.

Dwell times of less than two days

Pier 400 offers an average 2 days (or less) dwell time from vessel discharge to load IPI/MLB containers to the train at our intermodal rail facility. This is a ‘one stop service’ compared to several other terminals who must use truckers to dray their cargo to off-site rail ramps and struggle to load rail cargo fluidly as a result of their limited capacity.
