Around 2.26 million TEU moved through Oakland in 2024, up 9.5 percent on 2023, ranking it California's third-busiest container port behind Los Angeles and Long Beach. Sitting on San Francisco Bay (UN/LOCODE US OAK), the port is unusually export-oriented, acting as a key outlet for US agricultural goods—almonds, wine, dairy powder and refrigerated produce from the Central Valley—bound for Asia. Its main facilities are the Oakland International Container Terminal run by SSA Marine, the TraPac terminal and Everport's Ben E. Nutter terminal. For temperature-controlled cargo, OICT offers more than 1,500 reefer plugs. Adjacent BNSF and Union Pacific intermodal yards provide double-stack rail to the Midwest, complemented by California's highway network. Inbound trade is dominated by consumer-goods imports from East Asia, while nuts led 2024 exports at roughly 83,000 TEU. As a US entry port, Oakland handles full import and export customs clearance. Shippers seeking higher frequencies or more import volume turn to Los Angeles/Long Beach or the Northwest Seaport Alliance ports of Seattle and Tacoma.
