Maritime Fun Fact: There are over 300 port authorities, port commissions and navigation districts in America.
It is always an honor to serve our community through maritime initiatives, especially when we can further our industry and support regional resiliency. This month’s Currents highlights several accomplishments for the Port. We invite you to learn more about our maritime operations and waterfront recreation amenities – located right in your own backyard.  

Dive into five facts about how maritime strengthens our regional resiliency in Maritime Commerce, brush up on water safety tips in Waterfront Recreation and learn about several Port project milestones in Serving Silicon Valley. 

We hope to see you at our fishing pier ribbon-cutting event Thursday, March 3 at 11 a.m. It’s bound to be an excellent year at the Port! 
Warm Regards,
Kristine A. Zortman

Five facts about how maritime strengthens our regional resiliency
  1. Did you know the Port of Redwood City is FEMA designated as a Federal Staging Area (FSA) for the South San Francisco Bay region? 
  2. Did you know one of the wharves at the Port of Redwood City can accommodate a three to five feet sea level rise as well as an 8.9 magnitude earthquake? 
  3. Did you know our Port's FSA provides for the delivery of emergency supplies and transports vital responders via water during an emergency? 
  4. Did you know a ferry would become part of our FSA response if land routes are damaged in a disaster, enabling responders to provide food and water to affected areas, move emergency personnel and transport supplies?
  5. Did you know the Port of Redwood City has secured nearly $5 million in Department of Homeland Security federal grants to advance our security infrastructure? 

The Port of Redwood City is situated perfectly to keep the movement of goods, people and emergency resources flowing in the South Bay Area during an emergency. We are honored to work with federal, state and local partners on safety and security.

Redwood City Ferry Terminal project gains recognition
The Redwood City Ferry Terminal project marked a significant milestone with the acceptance of its business plan this month. The Redwood City Ferry Terminal will provide a new transportation alternative connecting the mid-peninsula to San Francisco and the East Bay and reduce automobile traffic. The project will also enhance emergency preparedness for the movement of first responders and resources by water after a catastrophic event.  

To learn more about the Redwood City Ferry Terminal Project, visit the Port’s website or watch KTVU’s news segment.

The new fishing pier includes:
