The recently announced US $1.2bn rejuvenation of the waterfront of the US port of Los Angeles means that the west coast cruise port will get it long awaited new cruise terminal. An estimated $275m will be spent on a new Outer Harbour development, to accommodate vessels up to RCCL’s Freedom-class ships, and upgrades to the existing Inner Harbour berths, which date from the 1960s.
The Outer Harbour development will take place on the eastern side of Kaiser Point (Berths 49-50) instead of the west side (Berths 45-47), which faces a public beach. The port anticipates being able to handle four cruise ships of ‘significant size’ simultaneously.
