STE later expanded, occupying most of the 60 acres, transforming the site into the largest truck parking and cargo container storage facility in Carson.īut occupying the property under that original lease, the city said, violated the municipal code - which requires any trucking operations to obtain a conditional use permit from the city. The company began occupying a portion of the 60-acre site under a lease from Marathon (previously, Tesoro) in 1999, according to city documents.

Neither STE nor Marathon responded to requests for comment. It appears that STE will store mostly empty cargo containers at the Carson facility. Should the port congestion clear, that number could jump to 500 on a daily basis.

The city estimates that STE drivers will make up to 200 transports to and from the Carson facility daily. “This is the business paying its fair share to mitigate the impact imposed on the community,” said City Attorney Sunny Soltani during the Monday, Dec. Heavy shipping trucks tend to cause damage to streets they travel frequently. That money will fund, in part, public works projects and street repairs that will likely be needed. STE will pay the city $1 million annually in fees in exchange for total access to Marathon’s plot during the two-year agreement. Many of the empties began turning up in storage yards throughout the Wilmington community, often blocking streets when staging and moving them became necessary.

The agreement is part of ongoing efforts to reduce the number of containers stuck at the nation’s two busiest ports, a problem that stems from a cargo surge that began last year and shows no signs of letting up.Įmpty containers have become a particular problem, often being stored on chassis needed to take loaded cargo containers to their destinations. The deal, which the City Council unanimously approved this week, will allow Shippers Transport Express to store cargo containers and trucks on a 60-acre plot of Marathon Petroleum land, 1150 E. The move comes as congestion in the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles continues amid worldwide supply chain issues that have, in part, contributed to an inflation surge for consumers. The Carson City Council has approved a $2 million deal with a local shipping company that will allow cargo containers and trucks to stay on Marathon Petroleum’s refinery property until they are ready to be moved out.
