Silver Moon Harbour, San Pedro, California | United States Marine Utilities

Silver Moon is a harbour facility located at 100 E Swinford St, San Pedro, California, within the Port of Los Angeles complex. As part of one of the busiest port complexes in the United States, it handles a significant volume of containerized cargo and supports international maritime trade. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 483111 for deep sea freight transportation. Operating under the regulatory framework of the United States, Silver Moon must comply with the US EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP) and NPDES permits for stormwater and wastewater discharges. The facility is subject to the IMO MARPOL Convention, including Annex I for oil pollution and Annex V for garbage management. Typical harbour operations involve cargo handling, vessel bunkering, and maintenance activities that require robust environmental management systems. The Port of Los Angeles is a critical economic engine for Southern California, handling millions of TEUs annually. Silver Moon's location in San Pedro places it near sensitive coastal habitats, including the Los Angeles Harbor and nearby wetlands. Effective stormwater management and oil-water separation are essential to minimize environmental impact. The facility's role in global supply chains underscores its significance for regional and national trade.

Silver Moon is situated in the Port of Los Angeles, a major industrial harbour adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and sensitive coastal ecosystems. The facility handles containerized cargo, which generates stormwater runoff that may contain pollutants such as heavy metals and hydrocarbons. Proximity to the Los Angeles River estuary and local wetlands necessitates careful management of ballast water, bilge water, and oily wastes to comply with MARPOL Annex I and US EPA regulations.
