The Port of Redwood City is a maritime transportation facility located in the Silicon Valley region, serving as the South San Francisco Bay’s only deep-water port. Founded by city charter in 1937, it provides access to inland transportation through nearby U.S. Route 101 and the Union Pacific Railroad, supporting international trade and maritime activities along the west coast. The port operates with a depth of 30 feet MLLW and offers three deep-water berths and five wharves, facilitating cargo movements for tenants and related logistics needs. In addition to its operational role, the port maintains more than a mile of waterfront public access, including parks, viewing areas, and waterfront recreation facilities, alongside a public fishing pier and a public boat launch facility that operates around the clock. Governance is provided by a five-member Board of Port Commissioners appointed by the City Council. Recent developments include partnerships with local institutions and community events, reflecting ongoing engagement with regional education and public outreach efforts.
