A crane at San Francisco’s Pier 80 lifts parts for a Halus Power Systems wind turbine. The Port of San Francisco’s Pier 80, operated by Metro Ports, is a 70-acre facility that includes over nine acres of covered storage. Pier 80 is the only marine terminal in Northern California able to handle containers, breakbulk and heavy lift cargoes simultaneously. The Port of San Francisco, an enterprise agency of the City and County of San Francisco, oversees a broad range of commercial, maritime and public access facilities along the City’s waterfront that are held in public trust for the people of California.
