Crescent Terminal Pier F Berths 204 to 207 - Long Beach, California Harbour Facility

Crescent Terminal Pier F Berths 204 to 207 is a harbour facility located in Long Beach, California, within Los Angeles County. The terminal is part of the Port of Long Beach, a major hub for international trade and container shipping. The facility handles cargo operations, contributing to the port's status as a key gateway for trans-Pacific trade. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including the US EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP) and NPDES permits for shoreside operations. As a marine terminal, it must comply with stormwater management and oil-water separation requirements to minimize environmental impact. The facility is also subject to the IMO MARPOL Convention for vessel-related discharges. Crescent Terminal plays a significant role in the regional economy, supporting jobs and trade in Southern California. Its operations are integrated with the broader Port of Long Beach infrastructure, which includes extensive rail and road connections. The terminal's environmental management practices are critical given its proximity to the Los Angeles-Long Beach harbor and sensitive coastal ecosystems.

The facility is located in the Los Angeles-Long Beach harbor, a heavily industrialized port area with significant vessel traffic. The surrounding coastal environment includes sensitive habitats such as wetlands and estuaries that support marine life. Stormwater runoff and potential oil spills from cargo handling operations are key environmental concerns. The terminal must implement best management practices for stormwater treatment and spill prevention to protect water quality in the harbor.
