Port of Los Angeles Receives National Recognition for Cruise Center,
Pier 400

SAN PEDRO, Calif. Dec. 2, 2003
The most recent of various awards accepted by the Port of Los Angeles
for its exemplary projects and initiatives are the Association of Port
Authorities (AAPA) 2003 Facilities Engineering Awards. The coveted
awards were presented to the Port for successful projects in the large
and special project categories for its World Cruise Center Renovation
and Pier 400 Phase I Terminal and Transportation Corridor,
respectively.
"We are honored to receive these awards and be recognized by our
peers," said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Larry Keller.
"Both of the winning projects typify our distinctive approach, history
of leadership and have made the Port of Los Angeles a frontrunner in
shipping and cruising for our customers."

In the large project category, the Port of Los Angeles received the
award for its $21 million renovation and expansion of the World Cruise
Center. Involvements include interior and exterior upgrades to
accommodate efficient passenger processing and adherence to stringent,
post-9/11 security requirements required by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security. The World Cruise Center's state-of-the-art security
processing makes the facility the most secure cruise terminal on the
West Coast.

In the Special Project Category, the $818 million Pier 400 Terminal
and Transportation Corridor Program project set the standard for
efficient terminal operations. To complete the first phase of the
484-acre terminal project, detailed terminal description and design,
as well as aggressive planning, management and construction were
required. One remarkable aspect of the project is that only 1.8
percent of change orders occurred during construction, an amazing feat
for a project of this proportion.

The AAPA Facilities Engineering Awards Program recognizes excellence,
innovation and performance by port engineering professionals. The Port
of Los Angeles won in two of three obtainable categories. These latest
awards contribute to other accolades received by the Port for
outstanding engineering.

In February 2003, Dream World Cruise Destinations Magazine named the
Port's World Cruise Center "most improved terminal facility,"
according to a global survey of ports and destinations.

Since its grand opening in August 2002, Pier 400 Phase I has received
honors from the American Public Works Association of Southern
California, Western Council of Construction Consumers, Consulting
Engineers and Land Surveyors of California, American Council of
Engineering Companies and California Engineering Geotechnical
Association. The Harbor Association Annual Salute to Industry Awards
Celebration also recognized the Port of Los Angeles in 2002, which
considered Pier 400 a "Great Port Project."
