The Port of San Diego is a seaport on San Diego Bay in San Diego, California. Established in 1962 by an act of the California State Legislature, it operates as a self-supporting special district and administers the bay and its waterfront under the state's Tidelands Trust.
Ranked among the 30 largest U.S. container ship ports by the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the port handles nearly 3 million metric tons (6.6 billion pounds) of cargo annually through the Tenth Avenue and National City marine terminals. It serves as a major U.S. port of entry for several automobile manufacturers and holds a long-term lease with Dole for fruit imports. It is also the third-busiest cruise port in California.
The port is governed by a seven-member Board of Port Commissioners appointed by the cities of Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach, National City, and San Diego.
