The Port of Oakland is a major container ship facility located in Oakland, California on San Francisco Bay. It was the first major port on the Pacific Coast of the United States to build terminals for container ships. It is now the fifth busiest container port in the United States, behind Long Beach, Los Angeles, Newark, and Savannah. Development of an intermodal container handling system in 2002 culminated over a decade of planning and construction to produce a high volume cargo facility that positions the Port of Oakland for further expansion of the West Coast freight market share.
Early history
Originally, the estuary, 500 feet (150m) wide, had a depth of two feet at mean low tide. In 1852, the year of Oakland's incorporation as a town by the California State Legislature, large shipping wharves were constructed along the Oakland Estuary, which was dredged to create a viable shipping channel. 22 years later, in 1874, the previously dredged shipping channel was deepened to make Oakland a deep water port.

Drone video of Port of Oakland's tallest cranes arriving
This is a beautiful video to watch using drone footage. It features the arrival of the tallest container cranes (STS - ship to shore gantry cranes) for the Port of Oakland and the U.S. The cranes first glide under the Golden Gate Bridge and then dramatically slip under the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge on the way to a berth at Oakland International Container Terminal operated by SSA (Stevedoring Services of America). The booms when raised up in the resting position reach more than 400 feet above the wharf. The lift height is 174 feet above the dock. This is an artistic video that's enjoyable to watch for those in the maritime and logistics industries or anyone who loves seeing the spectacular arrival of these engineering marvels that successfully traveled across the Pacific Ocean from China to Oak...

Planning for sustainable growth and green projects
Port of Oakland Executive Director Danny Wan presented the "State of the Port 2023" at a luncheon yesterday. In partnership with the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association and Women In Logistics, the speech was given to around 300 Port stakeholders at Scott’s Seafood Restaurant in Jack London Square.
Executive Director Wan focused on modernizing infrastructure at Oakland International Airport (OAK) and the Oakland Seaport. The Port is also implementing green projects to reach zero emissions from Port operations.
“We need to build for the next generation,” said Port of Oakland Executive Director Danny Wan. “It is a future port that not only moves more cargo, carries more passengers and attracts more visitors, but that growth will be achieved with zero emissions technology.”
Wan added, “Federal and state governments have dedicated an unprecedented amount of funding for infrastructure. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to apply for these government funds to build new facilities and clean energy infrastructure,” said Wan.
At the Oakland Seaport the Port is working on:
· Increasing the container cargo market share lost during the pandemic at the Seaport,
· Electrification of the Seaport to support greener operations,
· Land use planning with stakeholders to ensure continued growth of the maritime business, and
· A partnership with the state, which has already committed $175 million toward transportation improvements to upgrade the Oakland Seaport gateway
At Oakland International Airport (OAK) the Port is focusing on:
· Improving the passenger experience by adding new concessions,
· Redeveloping OAK’S Terminal 2 exit area to improve security and create a more attractive terminal exit for the traveling public,
· Considering major modernization of airport facilities with a larger passenger terminal, and
· Bringing new air service for OAK passengers.
Over 90 percent of properties at Jack London Square are leased. The Square is part of the Port of Oakland’s commercial real estate portfolio. Restaurant and commercial partners continue to grow to provide visitors and residents with an excellent and varied waterfront dining and entertainment experience.
Mr. Wan says climate change demands that the Port build in a way that moves it towards its zero-emissions goal.
Wan believes the Port must update its facilities and equipment, grow its revenues to meet rising costs, and invest in infrastructure for the future.
Wan is meeting with business partners, community groups and elected officials. He is advocating for the agency’s needs to garner stakeholder support and government funding so that the Port can build for the next generation.

The Port of Oakland is a major container ship facility located in Oakland, California on San Francisco Bay. It was the first major port on the Pacific Coast of the United States to build terminals for container ships. It is now the fifth busiest container port in the United States, behind Long Beach, Los Angeles, Newark, and Savannah. Development of an intermodal container handling system in 2002 culminated over a decade of planning and construction to produce a high volume cargo facility that positions the Port of Oakland for further expansion of the West Coast freight market share.

In 1852, the year of Oakland's incorporation as a town by the California State Legislature, large shipping wharves were constructed along the Oakland Estuary, which was dredged to create a viable shipping channel. 22 years later, in 1874, the previously dredged shipping channel was deepened to make Oakland a deep water port.
