Port of Oakland to invest in a renewed, smart and zero-emissions port
With national attention focused on the supply chain, infrastructure investment and jobs, it is time for the Port of Oakland to invest in a renewed, smart and zero-emissions port. That was Executive Director Danny Wan’s message this week at his annual State of the Port address, according to the company's release.
These investments aim to:
Grow a seaport that supports our regional economy by providing cargo drop offs and receiving that are on time, uncongested and transparent; and
Provide more choices of entertainment and attractions at our Oakland waterfront and improved access to our shoreline parks.
The Oakland Seaport set a record for containerized import volume in 2021. Meanwhile, Oakland reached an environmental milestone by reducing diesel emissions 86 percent from 2005 levels.
The seaport is working on a long-term, land-use plan to accommodate higher containerized cargo volumes.
