The Port of Redwood City is springing forward into the new season. Our maritime  workforce, cargo terminals, as well as supportive industrial activities play an important role in the region’s economy.  We remain committed to expanding new business opportunities including waterfront activation by enhancing recreational experiences for the public such as boating and fishing. We continue to diversify cargo and expand transportation initiatives including the ferry terminal project and our emergency preparedness for the region.  The Port is optimistic of a rebound year for all users and visitors of our waterfront while continuing to expand community resources to benefit Silicon Valley residents and visitors.

Warm Regards,

Kristine A. Zortman Executive Director, Port of Redwood City

Maritime tenant spotlight: Cemex

The Port is home to a multitude of tenants from various industries and specialties. This month we are highlighting our tenant and partner, Cemex, a global building materials company. Cemex produces, imports, recycles and distributes concrete and cementitious related building materials worldwide. Imports of raw construction materials through the Port assist in keeping costs low for construction projects occurring on the Peninsula and the greater Silicon Valley region.    Cemex holds environmental sustainability as a keystone in the development of its new products. In 2020, Cemex launched a new low carbon ready-mix concrete to address climate change named Vertua, now available in California. This low carbon concrete is designed to achieve CO2 emission reductions by 20 to 30%.    We are pleased to have Cemex as a partner at the Port of Redwood City and look forward to our continued long-term relationship in the future.

Movies on the waterfront     In February, we made new memories at our “Movies on the Waterfront” events. Cars docked in the public parking lot at the port to enjoy classic throwback films such as “The Princess Bride,” “The Goonies,” “E.T” and more!     In collaboration with the City of Redwood City, this community event has now been extended through the end of March. The shows will be at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings.   March 19 - Toy Story 4 March 20 - Captain Marvel    March 26 - Jurassic Park  March 27 - Secret Life of Pets 2    For more details about the movies and reservations, please visit the City’s website.

Public fishing pier coming soon!

The Port is excited to announce that we are actively in the selection process to rebuild our public fishing pier, which has been a long-standing asset on our waterfront since the late 1960s.  The project includes demolishing the existing wooden pier and constructing a new, modern concrete fishing pier with sleek cable railings that will enhance the vantage point for the public to fish and enjoy the waterfront. New signage of our local fish species and a “peek-a-boo” grate on the pier floor for visitors to see the water below their feet are also planned. The pier will be ADA-compliant, providing much-needed access to the water for both fishing and viewing platforms for everyone in the community to enjoy.      The project construction is slated for this summer as a requirement of the environmental work window, which only allows water-related construction to occur during the least impactful season for both flora and fauna. While the public may not be able to fish from the pier this summer, we are excited to bring a newly rebuilt and improved attraction for the public’s enjoyment later this year.
