The first container crane on the US West Coast was installed at Alameda's Encinal Terminals in 1959, yet this island in San Francisco Bay carries little commercial freight relevance today. Liner and box traffic long ago moved to neighbouring Oakland, the former Encinal Terminals are being redeveloped into a residential and mixed-use district, and the LOCODE US NGZ still nods to the old Naval Air Station Alameda. What remains is a solid ship-repair and dry-dock cluster used by yards such as Bay Ship & Yacht. Shippers moving containers, breakbulk or customs-cleared imports should route through the Port of Oakland, only a few kilometres away.
