Operators such as Venoco ran Ellwood not as a freight harbour but as an offshore oil terminal off Goleta, California; commercial oil and gas production in these state waters ended in 2017 and the pier infrastructure was removed. As an open roadstead it never handled containers, breakbulk or customs clearance. Shippers serving the Santa Barbara coast route cargo through Port Hueneme – the region's only deep-water commercial port – and the Los Angeles/Long Beach complex. Ellwood itself has no commercial cargo relevance.
