A View Comments Home Topics Cruise The San Francisco Port Commission has voted to move ahead with plans to build a new cruise terminal.
It said construction would begin immediately on the $92 million Pier 27 James R. Herman International Cruise Terminal and Northeast Wharf Plaza.
The site is named for the late James Herman, a former port commissioner and president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
Plans call for an 88,000-square-foot cruise terminal and a 2.2-acre public park. The project will be taxpayer-funded and completed in 2014, said the commission.
The new cruise terminal on Pier 27 will serve as the primary cruise ship terminal, while an existing cruise terminal on Pier 35 will be used as a secondary terminal in the event that two cruise ships require berthing on the same date.
The terminal will provide shoreside power to cruise ships, the commission said.
