| Port of Los Angeles |
The Port of Los Angeles is
located in the San Pedro Bay at the southernmost point of Los Angeles County,
approximately 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles. Because of its proximity to
the Pacific Ocean, the San Pedro Bay has a long history of maritime activity
and is home to the World Cruise Center.
Pacific Cruise Ship Terminals, a
subsidiary of Metropolitan Stevedore Company, is responsible for dispatching
passengers and processing baggage for visiting ships at the World Cruise
Center. The facility is capable of berthing three of the most modern cruise
ships in the world simultaneously. The facility has been upgraded and enlarged
to provide comfortable and efficient processing for discriminating passengers.
In 2003, U.S. Borax chose Metro to handle their vessels and bulk bag products
operation at the Port of Los Angeles. They felt that an operator with the
bulk handling experience of Metro can only add to their success. U.S. Borax
operates one of the few private bulk storage and loadout terminals on the West
Coast. Its facility is over 100 years old. But that doesn't stop it from
constantly striving for improvement. Today, Metro loads thousands of borates
and ensures that no contamination is loaded along with this unique product that
is distributed for world consumption from Berth 165 in the Port of Los Angeles.
