Nautilus and Metro Ports subsidiary move headquarters to Long Beach
After 91 years in one location, Nautilus International Holding Corp. — including subsidiaries Metro Ports, Metro Cruise Services, Metro Shore Services and Metro Risk Management — says it will move from its Wilmington headquarters into a new 40,000 square-foot building on 2.57 acres in Douglas Park in Long Beach, Calif.
The holding company oversees various subsidiary businesses in the stevedoring, terminal operations, agency, logistics and risk management sectors.
"Having recently finalized negotiations for a 20-year operating agreement with the Port of Long Beach, moving to the City of Long Beach is a concrete demonstration of our nine-decade relationship with both the city and port," said Nautilus COO Michael Giove. "We will be in closer proximity to our valued Long Beach operations and within 1.5 miles of the current port offices as well."
The corporation reports that approximately 80 personnel, with the capacity to exceed 120, will be stationed in the new head office. Groundbreaking for the new building, which sits on the northeast corner of Worsham Avenue and Cover Street, is planned for some time in late September or early October, with an expected December 2015 completion date, the statement said.
The new building will satisfy the California Green Building Standards Code and will be LEED Certified, with 168 parking spaces, which will include eight electric vehicles charging stations. The parking area will encompass a carport structure, utilizing solar panels as the cover, which, in turn, will be utilized to power the building.
The developer is locally-based Urbana Development.
