Monterey is a fishing and leisure harbor, not a commercial freight gateway. Its working side, Municipal Wharf #2, centers on wholesale fish companies and an abalone farm, while the older Fisherman's Wharf has shifted entirely to tourism. With a channel depth of about 4.9 m and no container or general-cargo facilities, the port cannot handle merchant shipping. Freight bound for central California moves instead through the Port of Oakland for containers or the Port of Stockton for bulk and breakbulk. For forwarders, Monterey's cargo role is limited to landed seafood.
