Port of Los Angeles Issues RFP on First New Container Terminal Since 2002

The Port of Los Angeles has issued a request for proposals to participate in the pre-development of Pier 500, a proposed new standalone marine container terminal along the Pier 400 Channel. The terminal would be the first to be built at the Port since Pier 400 was completed in 2002.

As proposed, Pier 500 would be a 200-acre site with two new berths and approximately 3,000 linear feet of new available wharf. The Port has identified a submerged site of 124 acres, infrastructure that was added during the construction of the adjacent Pier 400. The proposed Pier 500 project would allow the Port to leverage this existing asset

“For the first time in a generation, the Port of Los Angeles plans to build a new container terminal to meet global supply chain demand for decades into the future,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “The development of the cleanest terminal possible would enhance our efficiency and sustainability while creating new jobs in our communities.”

The deadline for responses to the RFP is Jan. 29, 2026.
