The Port of Redwood City is the only deepwater port in the southern San Francisco Bay. Over one million tons of waterborne cargo move across the Port's wharves each year.

Although its history can be traced back to the 1850s when it was used to float logs to San Francisco, the Port of Redwood City today handles a diverse group of building trade and industrial bulk products. Wharves No. 1-5 are open for business 24 hours per day and offer a wide variety of cargo handling equipment to make the job easier. The Port has captured a unique “niche” market and Metro is front and center handling products such as sand, cement, gravel, bauxite, gypsum, and aggregates.
