Sep 30 2024: The Port of Los Angeles announced that cargo operations have resumed after a fire caused by an overturned tractor-trailer carrying lithium batteries last week at Terminal Island.
In a statement on the social media platform X, the Port of Los Angeles confirmed that terminals affected by the incident were expected to return to full operations by Saturday, September 28.
Roads, including the Vincent Thomas Bridge and Seaside Avenue, were reopened, and cargo operations resumed once multiple agencies safely relocated the trailer, allowing the fire to burn itself out.
The fire near Ocean & Navy Way on Terminal Island, which occurred on Thursday, had caused significant disruptions, leading to the temporary closure of major terminals, including APM Terminals, Fenix Marine, Everport, and Yusen Terminals.
