Port of San Francisco Car Shipping Company, CA

Shipping Cars

The West Coast is well known for its marine activities, including port trade activities. The States of Washington, Oregon, and California provide the West Coast seaports that the neighboring states depend on for international ocean freight services. The neighboring states, including Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona - and even Wyoming and Colorado - are landlocked. Most of their international trading activities happen through the seaports in the coastal states in America's western hemisphere.

For international car shipping services and vehicle delivery, car haulers first have to haul the vehicle(s) via road on long haul trucks to the closest and most convenient sea port available. Among these sea ports in consideration is the Port of San Francisco, California.

Port of San Francisco, California

Located on the northeastern shores of the Peninsula is the Port of San Francisco. It is about 375 nautical miles shy of the largest port in the entire US, Port of Los Angeles, and just 4km west of the Port of Oakland. The port is a semi-independent organization, and it is run by a 5-member board of commissions that oversees all the port's activities. These activities range from ship repairs to international cargo transportation. A-1 Auto Transport Inc. works hand in hand with this 5-member board of commissions to acquire rights for shipping cars to or from the Port of San Francisco, California.

The port encompasses San Francisco's full 12km of waterfront, providing easy access to the Pacific. The port's strategic positioning also makes it an excellent gateway for Asian, Russian, and other European markets into the United States. This results in high tonnage being handled by the port throughout the year.

Features

The Port, being an entry point, is equipped with favorable technology, tools, and resources that allow it to handle the high tonnage traffic all year round. The port, under its management body, operates over 500 ground, commercial, office, maritime, and retail leases.

The Port has a dedicated cargo pier with a total of five deep-water berths equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. They include loading and offloading equipment, on-dock rails, flat racks, cargo cranes, and service bays for cargo ships. The pier is large enough to handle all kinds of cargo, including containerized and Roll-on/Roll-off car shipments. The large heavy tonnage cranes facilitate containerized services for shipping cars to or from Port of San Francisco, California.

Ro-Ro

The cargo pier is also served by a paved 145-acre cargo staging, which serves as a great area for Ro-Ro services, thanks to its direct-loading capability. Imported vehicles awaiting pick-up are safely parked on this cargo staging area; and so are the vehicles awaiting exportation. The cargo staging zone also works as a convenient drop-off and pick-up point for terminal-to-terminal car shipping services. Clients opting for enclosed storage facilities for their vehicles also enjoy over 550,000 sq. ft. of covered storage at this port.
