West Sacramento Port District

The Port of West Sacramento, formerly known as the Port of Sacramento, is a significant inland maritime facility located in California's Central Valley, northeast of San Francisco. Strategically connected to the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel, this port occupies over 1,100 acres and plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural and industrial shipping needs throughout the region. Unlike many other California ports, the Port of West Sacramento does not handle containerized cargo due to its facilities and size, focusing instead on bulk and break-bulk goods such as agricultural products, construction materials, steel, wind turbines, and heavy equipment. Its proximity to major railways and freeways, including BNSF, Union Pacific, I-5, and I-80, ensures robust multimodal access for cargo transport. Although it operates at a smaller scale than coastal megahubs, it remains a vital link in regional trade, specializing in non-containerized freight and supporting California's agricultural economy.
