The Port of Benicia

I spent a few hours yesterday on a hillside overlooking the Port of Benicia in Benica, California. It’s a fascinating seaport to me largely because of the diversity of operations in a relatively small amount of space. It has three types of terminals, and yesterday, the berths were full and it was in full operation, so was especially fascinating to watch. There was a tanker offloading to the Valero refinery, a bulk carrier loading or unloading what I believe to be Petroleum Coke, and an auto transport unloading cars at the Amports terminal.
