N.B. regarding the destination shown: there are no berths (nor any sort of marina or harbor) at El Segundo, CA. It is however directly between Hawthorne and the ocean!
Terminal Location and Description: The Chevron U.S.A. Products Company’s ElSegundo Marine Terminal facility is located in an open, unsheltered roadstead in theSanta Monica Bay on the West Coast of the United States at El Segundo, California. TheTerminal maintains a Sea Buoy, “2ES,” a lighted bell buoy exhibiting a red flashing lightevery 4 seconds. The Terminal has two, 7-point conventional buoy moorings systems(CBMs). Berth No. 3 is approximately 7,200ft offshore and Berth No. 4 is approximately8,100ft offshore.

As describe in the paragraph following your quoted paragraphs in the document you have attached.QuoteBerth No. 3 has two separate piping systems and associated submarine hoses; 3C (clean)for light oils (primarily gasoline, diesel and jet fuels) and 3B (black) for crude oil andblack fuel oils. In Berth 3C, a 16in submarine pipeline and a 12in submarine circulationpipeline are attached to 245ft of submarine hose, the last link of which is a 12in over-therailhose. Berth 3B has a 26in pipeline, and a 12in circulation pipeline also attached to240ft of submarine hose with a 12in over-the-rail hose.In Berth 4, a 36in submarine pipeline and a 14in submarine circulation pipeline attach to310ft of submarine hose, the last link of which is a 16in over-the-rail hose.

Yes, I thought that was obvious from the context. I was just clarifying that it is an actual destination and unrelated to SpaceX (unless they buy their RP-1 from that refinery).
With this being the first expendable launch in awhile, and also the expectation of fairing recovery activities sooner or later, it will be interesting to see if Go Quest and Elsbeth III find occasion to head out. Both currently in port.
As there is a rumor that one of the go twins may have caught something "big" does anybody have any info on the ships?
According to Marine Traffic web site. Go Searcher is approaching Port Canaveral at 6.3 knots, about 30 km out. Is there anyone near Port Canaveral now?
Scott M @Restrantek 13m13 minutes agoThe Go Searcher is back in port. #SpaceX is there a fairing or portion of under the tarps? Will be docked at SpaceX Barge Dock
Definitely caught a big one! Lots more pics here:https://imgur.com/gallery/qa2rB(at work bit too busy to download and attach them here but I'm sure someone else can do that...)
Yup, that's a fairing!(half)Parafoil under second tarp?
Looks like Go Quest is leaving the port: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=1155515Fairing recovery is a go?
