I. ABOUT THE PORT
The Stockton Port District ("District" or "Port") was established under the California Harbors and Navigation
Code, Sections 6200 through 6372. It is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners (Board). Four
commissioners are appointed by the Stockton District Council and three by the San Joaquin County Board of
Supervisors. The day-to-day administration of District operations is under the direction of the Port Director
who is selected by and serves at the will of the Board. The District's geographical boundaries are the same as
the District of Stockton's, with the exception of an eight-mile-long strip extending one-half mile on either side
of the Stockton Ship Channel.
The District is a deep-water seaport located seventy-five miles inland from San Francisco, in the agricultural
heartland of California in San Joaquin County. The District owns and operates docks, transit sheds, and
warehouses, which are used to load and unload cargo from ships, barges, trucks, and railroads, and to store
cargos. Cargos handled by the District include various dry and liquid bulk commodities, general cargos, and
project cargos. Some of the commodities handled at the District include steel products, rice, cement and slag,
sulfur, gypsum, fertilizers, molasses, coal, edible oils, and ammonia. The District also leases land and
warehousing facilities to a number of diverse tenants. District operations are self-supporting and receive no
direct tax subsidies.
