The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners has granted approval for the Mitsubishi Cement facility modification project at the Port of Long Beach. This will see the cement company increase its storage capacity at the port by 40,000 t, expanding its site at the port from 4.21 acres to 5.92 acres. Storage and loading silos will be constructed on vacant port property next to Mitsubishi Cement’s current facility at the port’s Pier F.
At the facility, cement and cementitious materials arrive via bulk cargo ships for storage in silos and a warehouse, before being loaded onto trucks to be transported to local concrete batch plants. … The project, which is expected to take between two and three years to complete, will help Mitsubishi Cement to meet increasing regional demand for cement.
