Maritime Services

Time. Efficiency. Space.
That's how we define shipping.

• Two major multi-purpose ocean cargo terminals
• Direct freeway access to major metropolitan markets
• Climate conducive to year-round cargo handling
• A broad range of cargo handling and storage services

These are just a few of the reasons why the Port of San Diego is an exceptional Maritime Service provider. Situated on San Diego Bay, the Port of San Diego has close proximity to open ocean and uncongested waters, and is the first U.S. port for northbound Pacific sailings from Mexico, Central and South America. It is also central gateway to Asia, Australia, Canada and Europe.

Swan Diego's Port serves as a regional shipping facility for San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial counties, plus northern Baja California and parts of the southwest U.S.
