The second major oil operation and support center is at the Port 

 of Long Beach, located in the eastern half of San Pedro Bay. The port 

 is managed by the Long Beach Harbor Commission which has jurisdiction 

 over 7,200 acres. About 17.7 million tons of bulk oil was transported 

 in 1973-74. Seven berths with 3,782 linear feet of dock will accommodate 

 vessels of broad beam configuration, up to 151, 272 DWT and 51 foot 

 drafts. Plans are being implemented for additional turning basins, 

 tanker bunkering systems, utility services, and oil transmission 

 facilities. 



El Segundo maintains a fixed buoy mooring marine terminal and sub- 

 marine pipeline that will accommodate tankers of 130,000 DWT for 

 discharge to onshore refineries.

 SOCAL maintains a number of 40-foot long, ocean-going tugs at the harbor 

 to service the mooring system at El Segundo. Basin Number 3 at King 

 Harbor can handle vessels up to 65 feet in length and 7-1/2 foot draft. 

 Other support services exist in the City of Gardena (rig assembly) and 

 Signal Hill.
