Warehousing Facilities:


The Port has 7.7 million square feet (715,000 sq meters) of warehouses which are either operated by the Port or leased to tenants who provide their own labor. At the Port, Interstate-5 connects to all major highway systems, and all these facilities are served by two transcontinental railroads. The warehouses are complemented by covered staging areas for easy truck and container unloading, and warehouse distribution operations can be tied into the Port's system.

The Port of Stockton has approximately sixty tenants who have leased land and have constructed and operate their own facilities. The tenants' commercial/industrial operations complement those of the Port to provide facilities for handling liquid bulk and dry bulk commodities as well as warehouse/distribution activities on a national scale.
