Terminals, rail ramps, and equipment depots in Long Beach

Long Beach terminal names are precise operating instructions. ITS is at Pier G, LBCT is the Middle Harbor/Pier E reference, PCT is at Pier J, TTI is at Pier T, and SSA Pier A and Matson Pier C are separate cargo origins. UP ICTF is a near-dock railroad facility rather than a vessel terminal.

ATSI on West Anaheim Street provides depot, maintenance, storage, and cargo services. Specify the agreed work when arranging a visit there, rather than describing it as a marine-terminal container pickup.

The adjacent Los Angeles harbor has its own marine-terminal guide. Confirm the actual port and terminal on the release before comparing inland transport from either harbor.

Pier G, Middle Harbor, and Pier J

International Transportation Service, or ITS, publishes 1281 Pier G Way East. Its operator site separates terminal-condition reports, vessel cutoffs, empty receiving, yard maps, and hours. Those resources answer different planning questions. A terminal-condition update does not replace the unit’s release, and an import pickup instruction does not establish empty acceptance.

Long Beach Container Terminal, or LBCT, is the Pier E/Middle Harbor reference at 201 Pico Avenue. The LBCT site links cargo search, gate schedules, appointments, a terminal map, and the trucker portal. Use that terminal’s current information when arranging an LBCT visit rather than applying an ITS or Pier J procedure.

Pacific Container Terminal, or PCT, is the Pier J reference at 1521 Pier J Avenue East. Its Tideworks portal is the operator-linked customer resource. Keep PCT and Pier J on the order when the shipment record uses those names.

For each, reconcile the vessel terminal, container number, equipment type, and pickup reference before scheduling. A ship’s arrival provides a forecast; the truck requires a released unit and an accepted visit arrangement.

Pier A, Pier T, and Matson’s Pier C

SSA Pier A is recorded at 700 Pier A Plaza. Use the SSA operator resources and the shipment’s current terminal instruction to identify the gate and transaction. It is a different origin from LBCT and TTI despite belonging to the same Long Beach market.

Total Terminals International, or TTI, is the Pier T reference on Mediterranean Way. The TTI terminal map distinguishes its main entrance, north gate, power shop, and rail yard. That is a useful reminder that even one terminal can contain several access points with different purposes.

Matson uses the Pier C area. Its Long Beach port information distinguishes cargo locations and instructions, including container and auto/oversized work. Match the release to the cargo type and specific receiving or collection area rather than treating every Matson visit as an international import-container pickup.

For vehicles or oversized pieces, provide dimensions, weight, condition, and the loading method. Confirm the inland vehicle and destination unloading plan with the carrier and cargo handler. A release for rolling cargo requires more than choosing a container chassis.

ICTF is a rail handoff north of the waterfront

Union Pacific’s ICTF page identifies the intermodal facility at 2401 East Sepulveda Boulevard. A pickup there follows the railroad’s release and visit process, separate from the marine terminals described above.

Ask the booking provider where the container will be released under the actual service. A port discharge with an onward rail booking does not necessarily require a local truck from the marine terminal. Conversely, a rail-ramp notice should not be routed to the waterfront simply because the cargo originally arrived by vessel.

If a truck transfer between a marine terminal and a rail facility is needed, name both handoffs and obtain the releasing and receiving references. For other Southern California rail points, the Los Angeles rail guide separates Commerce, LATC, City of Industry, and the Inland Empire reference.

Depot and support-yard services

American Transportation Services describes storage and handling for loaded, empty, and wheeled equipment, maintenance, and cargo-project services. Its West Anaheim Street reference should be matched to the agreed depot work. State whether the need concerns a dry container, refrigerated equipment, chassis, repair, or cargo handling.

Pacific Terminal Services Company lists its Pier S Terminal at 3400 New Dock Street. Keep the Pier S designation when arranging a visit: PTSC also operates at other West Coast locations. RoadEx on East Dominguez Street and GPM in Compton are separate equipment yards. Obtain the current owner-directed destination and receiving operator’s acceptance; proximity to the port does not establish an approved empty return for a particular line or lessor.

For a grounded collection, settle the lift and suitable chassis. For a mounted drop, agree on whether the chassis remains. For storage, establish dates and the next collection process. If the cargo itself is unloaded, obtain the warehouse or handling address and scope that work separately from equipment storage.

Sequence the import or export around real receiving windows

For an import, coordinate terminal availability and the required visit arrangement with the customer’s unloading appointment. Record applicable free-time dates and the designated container and chassis returns. If the customer needs a drop, agree on how the empty-ready notice reaches dispatch and how collection is scheduled.

For an export, confirm the terminal, booking, vessel receiving dates, and cutoff before planning the loaded delivery. The empty collection should be authorized for that booking and meet the shipper’s equipment requirements. Check condition before loading so an unsuitable unit does not become a problem only at terminal delivery.

For a transload, provide the cargo description, handling needs, storage if required, and outbound vehicle. Include the empty return after stripping when comparing it with direct container delivery. The transloading guide explains those extra handoffs.
