Battleship USS Iowa to become museum in Los Angeles
The USS Iowa, which ferried the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt across the perilous Atlantic waters to a historic meeting with Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin in the dark days of World War Two, is to become a floating museum.
The battleship saw combat in the Pacific, survived a devastating explosion in a gun turret, and even a snub from the city of San Francisco. At the end of its final voyage, the storied warship will have a permanent mooring in San Pedro, Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Harbor Commission voted unanimously on Thursday to create a permanent home for the ship at the city's port, where it will open as a floating museum.

Panama expansion may help competing ports topple L.A. from its No. 1 position
In American ports, the expansion of the Panama Canal is the elephant in the room. East Coast and southern U.S. ports see the Panamanian expansion, allowing it to handle larger ships by the middle of the decade, as their chance to woo business away from the Port of Los Angeles, Bond Buyer reports.
West Coast ports see it as a potential threat to their traffic, if East Coast ports can undercut what they charge shipping companies.
Right now, the Los Angeles port has by far the largest container ship traffic volume in the United States.
Combined, the Los Angeles port and neighboring Port of Long Beach hold the distinction of being the fifth largest port in the world, according to a Fitch Ratings report.
In a May 1 ratings report, Fitch analysts affirmed its AA rating and stable outlook on the Port of Los Angeles’ $840 million of outstanding debt.
The port is a Los Angeles city department, located in the San Pedro section of the city.
Port industry experts have been saying for several years that the Panama Canal expansion is a game-changer, because when it is complete, ships hailing from booming Indian and Chinese ports might keep going past Southern California to other ports of call.
“We are taking the Panama Canal threat very seriously,” said Phillip Sanfield, a port spokesman. “We also take Canada, Mexico and the Pacific Northwest seriously.”
The Port of Los Angeles, however, is in a good place compared to where it was several years ago when environmental lobbying groups virtually shut down port expansion using the California Environmental Quality Act.
“In 2008, we embarked on a clean truck program that took quite a substantial amount of dollars,” said Karl K.Y. Pan, chief financial officer for the Port of Los Angeles. “We spent $50 million in 2009, which was the height of the recession. We were committed to making sure we removed a substantial amount of NOx [nitrogen oxide] out of the atmosphere.”
The port is committed to spending both operating and capital dollars in appropriate ways, according to Pan.
Sanfield, the port spokesman, said: “As we upgrade our terminals, there are a laundry list of environmental upgrades and regulations we enforce that are sometimes stronger than the state regulations — whether it’s amping (connecting docked ships to cleaner land-based power) or the operation of the cranes. We are at the leading edge when it comes to zero emission.”
The port has 500 environmentally conscious trucks, he added.
The strategy of growing green has paid off for the ports, even if it was developed under pressure from environmental activist groups.
“We were at the point that we could not do anything here because of the community and the environmental lawsuits,” Sanfield said. “We were stopped in our tracks. We have shown the community and the environmental groups we can do this and have been able to move forward on a number of projects and have a number in the hopper.”
Today, Pan said, the Port of Los Angeles is focused on accomplishing the goals laid out in that five-year plan. However, it also plans to issue debt slowly to keep its debt ratio low.
The port is developing facilities for China Shipping and terminal operator Trapac, Pan said. “We are also working on the alternative maritime tower for the cruise terminal,” he added.
The Port of Los Angeles’ capital expenditures program is modestly sized and flexible, according to Fitch analysts.
“POLA has a moderate and flexible $1.4 billion CAPex program with future debt requirements that will not materially dilute coverage,” according to Fitch analysts.
“The port’s terminal facilities are modern and contiguous, and have excellent access to intermodal transportation facilities, including on-dock rail, near-dock rail, and direct connections to the national rail network through the Alameda Corridor, and the Southern California system of freeways.”
Sanfield said POLA just came out with a strategic plan. “Top of the to-do list is maintaining and expanding our infrastructure,” he said. “In San Pedro, we already have the largest and most powerful infrastructure in North America.”
Through the strategic plan, he said, the port aims to build on that infrastructure by doing any dredging that is necessary and working with the rail lines to improve their infrastructure.
“We have 100 trains a day coming out of the Los Angeles-Long Beach ports versus the four in New York and New Jersey,” Sanfield said.
It helps that fuel costs have not abated much since they spiked four years ago.
Those costs have even resulted in some Asian companies, which make goods aimed at American consumers, making the decision to move manufacturing operations to Southern California, said Bill Allen, chairman of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp.
The twin ports’ harbor is accessible to the largest container ships, making the Southern California facilities attractive for companies producing goods aimed at American customers.
Port officials plan to be slow and steady as they move forward on projects, spending cash when they can and bonding at a rate that keeps their debt ratio low.
“Right now we have a $300 million commercial paper program,” Pan said. “We expect to finance a portion of that with cash and then see how cash flow is to see if it makes sense to issue commercial paper or long-term bonds.”
All the renovations are sourced solely through the port, because it is a “landlord port,” Pan said.
“The amount of borrowing versus the amount we put out of our own pocket-cash flow is about 50-50,” he said.
The port has $360 million in cash on had to fund projects, according to Pan.
The port’s annual gross revenue is about $400 million, and on an operating income basis generates about $190 million, he said.
“We try to keep at least one year’s worth of operating expense on hand,” Pan said. “Operating expenses for the past two years have been $215 million.”
Port officials try to maintain cash reserves at $235 million; Pan said currently the figure is $366 million.
During the boom, container traffic at the port was doubling annually.
“It reached its highest level in 2006 and 2007,” he said. “We measure volumes by TEUs, which means each 40-foot container on the road equals two TEUs.”
TEU stands for a Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit.
In 2007, the port reached 225 million TEUs; now that number is at 190 million, he said.
Looking forward, Pan said, the port does not expect to reach double-digit growth again in terms of TEU volume, which has affected how it aligns capital projects to cash flow.
Fitch lauded the Port of Los Angeles for having strong debt-service coverage levels and an internal policy to manage leverage in order to maintain a minimum of 2 times net revenue coverage.

LA Port launches clean air program, to reward carriers for eco-friendly vessels
The Port of Los Angeles today became the first seaport in North America and the Pacific Rim to adopt an international clean air program that rewards ocean carriers for bringing their newest and cleanest vessels to the Port. The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners today formally approved an Environmental Ship Index (ESI) program to take effect July 1, the Port Authority press release said.
The ESI is a web-based tool developed by the World Ports Climate Initiative (WPCI), a project of the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH). The ESI program, already underway at several major European ports, offers immediate and significant clean air benefits by rewarding vessel operators for voluntary engine, fuel and technology enhancements that reduce emissions from ships beyond the regulatory environmental standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Ship emissions are the single-largest source of air pollution from port-related operations. While diesel particulate matter (DPM) and sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions from ships calling at the Port of Los Angeles decreased 68 percent and 74 percent, respectively, between 2005 and 2010, Los Angeles sees the ESI as another strong step to encourage the building and deployment of cleaner-burning ships in the TransPacific trade lane.
“We are proud to introduce this win-win strategy to North America and the Pacific Rim,” said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. “Today’s action shows our city continues to build on its commitment to think globally, act locally.”
“The ESI sets the gold standard for green shipping and we encourage other ports to follow suit,” said Port Executive Director Geraldine Knatz Ph.D. “The larger success of this program lies in its adoption by as many ports as possible to increase the rewards for operators willing to invest in clean air and maximize the health benefits for everyone.”
Under Knatz, who chairs the WPCI and is the current president of IAPH, the Port of Los Angeles has been instrumental in developing the global index. Like other WPCI programs aimed at reducing vessel pollution and greenhouse gases and promoting sustainable practices, the ESI can be tailored to fit a port’s operational and regional requirements. Fourteen European ports have adopted the program.
The Port of Los Angeles developed its ESI with input from the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association and other stakeholders. Its program also conforms to the San Pedro Bay Clean Ports Air Action Plan, which sets specific bay-wide targets for near-term pollution reduction through 2014 and long-term objectives through 2023.
Specifically, operators whose vessels call at the Port can earn an incentive ranging from $250 to $5,250 per ship call by meeting one or all of the following three requirements:
Scoring 30 or more ESI points based on a vessel’s engine specifications and emissions certification; use of low sulfur fuel, plug-in ready on-board shore power technology, and a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP).
Deploying ships with a Tier II or Tier III engine to the Port of Los Angeles.
Participating in a demonstration program to test and improve vessel emission reduction technology.
Incentives will be paid on a quarterly basis, with the first distribution scheduled for October 2012. For the first sixth months of the program, ships can qualify for the first incentive with a score of 25 points. The lower introductory threshold is intended to encourage early participation and help operators familiarize themselves with the ESI website and reporting requirements.
To participate, operators must enroll their companies and vessels in the ESI program through the IAPH/WPCI website here. Registration prior to July 1 is encouraged. To receive the incentive payment, operators must also register with the Port of Los Angeles here. Registration is free.
Initially, up to 30 percent of the ships calling at the Port are expected to qualify for the ESI incentives. Thirty percent participation would cut diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions by 16 tons within the first year and reduce emissions of other primary pollutants, namely nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The Port has committed $450,000 to jumpstart the program.
The Port of Los Angeles’ ESI program is also an opportunity for vessel operators to get ahead of more stringent environmental requirements before they become mandatory. On Jan. 1, 2014, statewide clean air regulations will require ships operating within 24 nautical miles of the California coastline to use fuel with a reduced sulfur content limited to 0.1 percent or less.
Under an Emissions Control Area established by international agreement, the same standard will take effect throughout North America on Jan. 1, 2015. As these requirements take effect, the Port will encourage ocean carriers to continue to reduce vessel emissions by raising the bar to qualify for its ESI incentives.
The Port will hold an informational ESI workshop for shipping lines in June. The new program follows the Port’s highly successful Vessel Speed Reduction Program, whose voluntary compliance today exceeds 92 percent within 20 miles of the Port and 70 percent within 40 miles of the Port.
The Port of Los Angeles is America’s premier port and has a strong commitment to developing innovative strategic and sustainable operations that benefit the economy as well as the quality of life for the region and the nation it serves. As the leading seaport in North America in terms of shipping container volume and cargo value, the Port generates more than 830,000 regional jobs and $35 billion in annual wages and tax revenues. The Port of Los Angeles – A cleaner port. A brighter future.
Founded in 1955, the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) is a nonprofit global alliance of roughly 230 ports and 150 maritime companies and institutes representing about 90 countries. The IAPH is dedicated to fostering cooperation among ports and harbors and promoting the vital role they play in creating a peaceful, more prosperous world. Based in Tokyo and recognized as the only voice speaking for ports around the globe, the IAPH has Consultative NGO Status from the United Nations and is active in developing international trade and maritime policy. IAPH member ports handle about 80 percent of world container traffic and more than 60 percent of all international maritime trade.
