Stockton-Oakland Barge Service to Ship Containers

 

 

A new container-on-barge service between the ports of Stockton and Oakland, Calif., will give shippers the opportunity to save money by moving containers that are too heavy for highway transit, said Stockton deputy port director Mark A. Tollini.

The service, slated to begin February 2012, is one of the first West Coast marine highway initiatives to receive federal funding and will be viewed as a barometer for other short sea programs.

Service on what the Department of Transportation designated the M580 marine highways corridor is slated to begin in February 2012. The corridor is so named because the Sacramento River roughly parallels Interstate 580 between the San JoaquinValley and Oakland.

Tollini said the barge service will relieve congestion on the highway and allow shippers to load boxes in excess of the state’s 22 metric ton highway weight limit. Four waterborne containers can carry the same load as five on the highway.
