The inland Port of West Sacramento is located 79 nautical miles northeast of San Francisco, and is centered in one of the richest agricultural and industrial regions in the world. We provide our customers with a full array of services with our commitment to provide efficient, affordable and environmentally responsible Goods Movement centered around the Maritime Industry.

The Sacramento-Yolo Port District was established in 1947 and the Port (know as the Port of Sacramento until 2009) opened in 1963. The City of West Sacramento assumed responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Port in 2006.


NEW ARRIVAL at the PORT!
A new $5 million mobile harbor crane that will be used at the Port of West Sacramento for handling container cargo as part of a new Northern California Marine Highway container barge service was unloaded Tuesday, January 3, from the Ocean Titan cargo ship.

Built by Liebherr Nenzing Crane Company of Austria, the mobile harbor cane will enable the Port for the first time to handle container cargo in addition to project cargo such as windmills and generators, as well as bulk cargo such as fertilizer and mineral ores.  The crane, which when assembled will be more than 100 feet tall and be able to lift more than 124 metri tons (273,000 pounds), was built at the Liebherr factory in Nenzing, Austria.  The crane was loaded November 29 in Rostock, Germany, onto the U.S.-flagged vessel Ocean Titan and transported aproximately 8,000 miles through the Panama Canal to West Sacramento.

The new Marine Highway container barge service will operate between the Ports of West Sacramento, Oakland and Stockton and is planned to launch later in 2012.  The new service, which will help to reduce truck traffic on the congested I-80 corridor between West Sacramento and Oakland and Stockton and Oakland, is being funded with a $30 million federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant.

The mobile crane is being installed at the Port of West Sacramento at a cost of $5 million for the crane plus $1 million for strengthening Berth 6 at the Port.

 


The Port provides economic and recreational benefits to the City of West Sacramento.  Those benefits include providing several thousand jobs associated with the Port and Goods Movement, as well as easy access for Northern California Farmers. The Port currently handles a variety of bulk, break-bulk and project cargos, including agricultural products (rice, wheat, corn, fertilizer, seed pellets, oats, barley, safflower, almonds and fish meal), industrial products (lumber, wood chips, cement, sand/aggregate, minerals/ore, metals, newsprint, clay, wood pellets and bio-fuels) and project cargos (wind turbines, mining equipment, transformers, machinery, generators, heavy lifts and steel).
