In the early 60s, part of the facility was
converted into an export grain elevator (right). This enterprise was
called the Los Angeles Harbor Grain Terminal. For three decades the
combined operations loaded hundreds of ships with cargos of grain,
alfalfa pellets, cottonseed meal, safflower seed, beef tallow, lard
and cottonseed oil. With the advent of containerization in the late
60’s the company converted some operations into container loading
and facilitated the shipping of various livestock feeds and
agricultural products to Pacific rim countries in ocean going
containers. This service became known as transloading. |
