Proposed ballpark development would be better use for Howard Terminal, where cargo vessels haven’t docked since 2013.
Cargo vessels haven’t docked at the Port of Oakland’s Howard Terminal since 2013. It’s too small to handle the 1,200-foot-long container ships that now dominate the shipping industry. Its waters aren’t even deep enough to accommodate these mega-ships.
Today, Howard Terminal is a short-term parking lot for containers and some big-rigs, a temporary container storage depot and a training facility for dockworkers. These operations could be moved elsewhere. The port is committed to collaborating with the shipping industry to protect and grow Oakland’s maritime sector. The use of Howard Terminal for the Oakland A’s ballpark, housing, offices and retail will not hurt the operations or business of our shipping partners.
