About Oakland
Oakland serves Northern California and the Central Valley, and is the main West Coast export gateway for American agricultural cargo — which makes its equipment balance different from the import-heavy southern ports. It is markedly less congested than Los Angeles and Long Beach. Cargo for the Bay Area avoids a long road leg from Southern California here.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Oakland — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 24–30 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider United States lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
