Terminal operations support the Pasha Hawaii MV George III at the Port of Oakland. Regional Report: New Zero-Emission Terminal Equipment Debuts at Port of Oakland Delivering on its renewable ambitions, the Port of Oakland debuted two cutting-edge, all-electric, zero- emission top picks funded through a grant by the State of California Zero- And Near-Zero-Emission Freight Facilities program. The port matched the state grant funding, investing $2 million in electrical infrastructure that provides the source of electricity to recharge the top picks. The Port of Oakland also received a $36.6 million federal grant, secured in October, to help offset the costs of building out more electrical infrastructure that is designed to support more investments in zero-emission terminal equipment. Port of Oakland Begins Approval Process for Basin Widening Project The Oakland Harbor Turning Basins Widening Project reached a key milestone in its comprehensive environmental review process, setting the stage for project approval next year. The project proposes increasing the existing turning basin width to accommodate vessels with a capacity of 19,000 TEUs and a length of 1,310 feet, helping improve the efficiency of larger vessels entering and exiting the harbor. The project is tentatively scheduled to begin in July 2027. According to environmental documents, areas of the port's water basins would need to be deepened to 50 feet. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Like other regions on the coast, Northern California managed a wide swing in volumes and business. While container volumes fell in the second half of the year, the cruise business grew to new heights. New investments in port infrastructure helped prepare the region to meet sustainability goals and build important new capacity for the years ahead. 28 28 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 28 28 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
