Port of Oakland Working through Backlog

Port of Oakland is working to clear through the backlog of nine vessels waiting outside the port. Since February 16th, the port has implemented an additional temporary "Hoot" shift running from 3am to 8am, and it is expected that the backlog will be cleared within two weeks. The cause of the backlog can be attributed to a variety of circumstances, one of them being an electrical outage which put two cranes temporarily out of use.

As the port works through the backlog, please plan for potential delays if you have cargo going through the Oakland area.

We will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as they are available. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us or email us for information at: [email protected].
