The Port of Los Angeles (POLA) is the largest container port in the United States, serving as a critical supply chain gateway for international trade and the delivery of goods. To remain competitive in the global shipping container market, POLA continuously evaluates its facilities for areas of improvement and upgrades. To that end, the Berths 226–236 terminal redevelopment project was completed in 2022. The project upgraded the terminal’s wharf capacity and backland infrastructure to accommodate the berthing of larger vessels and additional ship-to-shore cranes to increase the throughput capacity. This paper focuses on the challenges presented by the upgrades to the mooring hardware and berthing fenders, deepening of the berth, and COVID-19 pandemic impacts.
