The cruise ships serving the competitive cruise industry have steadily grown in size to keep up with the booming demand for passengers and onboard amenities. An increase in vessels’ dimensions, including overhanging life vessels and balconies, has led to expanded demand for mooring elements, operations, and services at cruise berths and terminals. In 2019, Carnival Cruise Line successfully upgraded the Long Beach Cruise Terminal for the arrival of their new ship, Carnival Panorama. This paper examines the careful planning, scheduling, construction phasing, and design challenges faced to perform upgrades to an existing wharf of this active cruise terminal to safely accommodate this larger class cruise ship.
