About This Seaport
Some 240,000 finished vehicles passed through Benicia in 2024, underlining its role as a Ro-Ro and automotive gateway for the San Francisco Bay Area rather than a container port. Sitting on the Carquinez Strait that links the bay to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, it is operated by Amports and is California's only major privately owned port. Brands handled include General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda and newer entrants such as VinFast, while the terminal also takes breakbulk and dry bulk and the adjacent Valero refinery handles petroleum products — gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and asphalt. Hinterland access is strong, with direct links to interstates I-680 and I-780, Union Pacific rail and a 2,400-foot pier offering about 38 feet of dockside depth for up to three vessels at once. For containerised freight, shippers use nearby Oakland, with Stockton and Sacramento serving additional bulk needs.
