The Port of Oakland is preparing to begin construction on infrastructure upgrades that will enable Matson Terminal to operate a 100% zero-emission cargo-handling equipment fleet, marking a first for the California port.<\/p>\n
The project includes new charging and electrical infrastructure to support the transition. Construction was celebrated today alongside California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin and other officials. Completion is expected in 2028.<\/p>\n
Port of Oakland executive director Kristi McKenney said the milestone demonstrated the port\u2019s commitment to cleaner technologies while strengthening its environmental performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe port has been advancing and transitioning to green technologies, and to have our first terminal achieve a zero-emissions equipment fleet, is an important moment,\u201d McKenney said. She added that the port would continue exploring cleaner technologies to serve customers and Oakland\u2019s community.<\/p>\n
The California State Transportation Agency is providing US$119 million through its Port and Freight Infrastructure Program. The programme supports modernisation of California\u2019s goods-movement network, emissions reduction and supply chain congestion relief.<\/p>\n
California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin said the investment builds on Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s commitment to modernising the state\u2019s ports and improving freight operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, we\u2019re building on Governor Newsom\u2019s commitment to strengthen California\u2019s ports with investments that modernize infrastructure, support economic growth and advance cleaner, more efficient goods movements,\u201d Omishakin said.<\/p>\n
He added that the state was pleased to support Oakland\u2019s progress towards zero emissions, highlighting the expected benefits for local communities and California more broadly.<\/p>\n
Matson Terminal is operated by SSA Terminals, a joint venture between SSA Marine and Matson. SSA Marine Regional Vice President Adam Patalano said the company welcomed the partnership with the port and state.<\/p>\n
\u201cSSA Marine is committed to environmental responsibility, operational efficiency, and environmental innovation across our operations,\u201d Patalano said. He added that SSA Terminals intended to continue working with the port to introduce additional zero-emission cargo-handling equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
