Harbor district hears sea‑level rise, vessel‑traffic and tow‑out simulation updates for Redwood Marine Terminal project
Summary
Engineers presented updated sea‑level rise guidance (incorporating 2024 CLRS guidance), vessel‑traffic baselines using AIS (about 1,400 transits in 2023) and completed April 2025 validation navigation simulations to test feasibility of tow‑outs for floating foundations; public commenters urged better capture of non‑AIS traffic and model ground‑truthing.
The Humboldt Bay Harbor Recreation and Conservation District on Tuesday received technical briefings on the proposed Redwood Marine Terminal heavy‑lift project, with consultants describing updated sea‑level rise inputs, vessel‑traffic baselines and a phased program of real‑time navigation simulations to test tow‑out feasibility.
"We are now using the California Coastal Commission CLRS guidance and local studies to interpret what that means at our site," Aaron, a project consultant, told the board. He said the team is designing the terminal to consider roughly 4.7 feet of sea‑level rise by 2080 for the facility's…
