Terminals and rail
The port has 122 miles of rail, five on-dock rail yards and a classification yard[4]; its rail yards connect through the Alameda Corridor to five off-dock mainline yards run by Union Pacific and BNSF[1][5]. Containers railed from the Midwest usually arrive this way; machines that drive come by truck to the RoRo or breakbulk terminal on the booking.
Los Angeles shares San Pedro Bay with the Port of Long Beach, which runs its own terminals. Carriers choose one or the other, so the booking, not the city, decides the gate.
Questions about shipping from Los Angeles
Where does RoRo cargo load in Los Angeles?
At the Wallenius Wilhelmsen terminal, Berths 195–199, which the port lists as its automobile and rolling equipment terminal.
Can I ship breakbulk from Los Angeles?
Yes. Pasha, SSA Marine and the port’s own Berths 153–155 handle breakbulk that cannot go in a container.
Is Los Angeles the same port as Long Beach?
No. They share a harbor but are separate ports with their own terminals. Your carrier’s booking names the terminal.
