APL Terminals on Friday unveiled plans to expand operations by 56 acres at the Port of Los Angeles.

Plans call for building 1,250 feet of new wharf, 41 additional acres of backland and up to 12 new container cranes that will increase the amount of cargo processing at the APL terminal, which currently operates on 291 acres at the port.

The project will be discussed during a meeting at 6 p.m. Jan. 19 at the Port of Los Angeles administration building, 425 S. Palos Verdes St., San Pedro.
