It was also ranked 2nd among the fastest growing export ports in the West Coast. The reasons for the high ranking vary but it’s mostly due to the benefits it offers shipping companies.

These include:

• Its unique location makes it possible for the port to handle different types of cargo. The harbor links directly with the BNSF Railway and is the first one to be reached by trains travelling to the Midwest as well as the eastern part of the US. Also, it can be easily accessed from Interstate 5, making it easy for car carriers to get to the port from various destinations.
• Expertise in handling of over dimensional, heavy, wide, and high cargo. A-1 Auto Transport uses the port to ship large vehicles such as SUVs and boats because of this special capability. Break bulk cargo is also well handled at the port giving it a premiere position in the entire region.

Also, the seaport offers fast turnaround times eliminating congestion often seen at other ports in the US.
• An experienced workforce that is trained in handling different types of cargo is another reason to ship from the port. The workers make the process of importing and exporting less stressful because of their cargo handling abilities. It does not matter the vehicle being transported to and from the port, it will be handed over to truck drivers in one piece and in good time.
• Presence of an airport within a 4-mile radius with aircrafts that have cargo capabilities also makes the sea port ideal for shipping companies. The jumbo aircrafts pick up and drop off cargo from the port for transportation to local and international destinations.
