About This Seaport
Sand and aggregates, not containers, are the highest-volume cargo crossing the Port of San Francisco — the boxes have run through deeper Oakland across the bay for decades. On California's Pacific shore, this port has carved out specialised niches: dry bulk, automobile handling, breakbulk, RoRo and project cargo. At the 28-hectare Pier 80, Pasha Automotive Services handles up to 150,000 vehicles a year across as many as 96 ship calls for import and export, while sand and aggregates are imported mainly at Piers 92 and 94, forming the industrial backbone of the Pier 80–96 eco-industrial centre. The port also runs the James R. Herman cruise terminal at Pier 27 and full ship-repair services with a dry dock at Pier 70, operated by BAE Systems Ship Repair. For containerised freight, customs clearance of larger import volumes and intermodal rail, Oakland is the clear choice. San Francisco, by contrast, remains a specialised complement for bulk, breakbulk and vehicles, with suitable berths for heavy-lift and project shipments on the bay.
