Port Partners

The Bar Pilots have a close working relationship with each of our nine port partners and regularly provide technical expertise and practical support. Below are some facts about each of the nine ports we serve.

While the Bar Pilots are typically seen navigating large ships through the San Francisco Bay, the Monterey Bay was added to the San Francisco pilotage grounds in 2001. Though Monterey is not a large commercial port like others that the Bar Pilots serve, the location hosts several cruise ships throughout the year, which boosts economic activity across Monterey’s waterfront.

The Bar Pilots have served the Port of Sacramento since 1984, navigating ships up and down the Sacramento River between the port and the San Francisco Bay. Given its close proximity to much of California’s farmland, the port primarily handles agricultural and bulk goods rather than containerized items.

The Port of Redwood City, located 18 miles south of San Francisco, provides an important strategic point to connect the San Francisco Bay and Silicon Valley. Paired with significant infrastructure investments and their 2020 Vision Plan, the port will continue to play a key role in the region’s supply chain.

The Port of Oakland is an economic engine for the Bay Area and California as a whole, serving as a hub to send and receive materials and products from across the Pacific Ocean. As the fourth busiest port in California, the Bar Pilots play a crucial role in helping move ships in and out of the Bay and contributing to the local supply chain.

Just over 30 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge, the Port of Martinez welcomes ships that primarily carry crude oil and biofuels given the Port’s proximity to Martinez’s oil refineries.

The Port of Benicia, a mere 24 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge, is known for its cargo of automobiles and petroleum coke due to the demand of cars in California and the close proximity to the City of Benicia’s refineries. In April of this year, a fire at the port pulled the Bar Pilots into action, where several Pilots maneuvered ships away from danger and allowed fireboats to put out the flames. The Bar Pilots look forward to the continued partnership with the Port of Benicia and the many maritime entities that utilize it.
