Interesting Facts About San Diego Bay
The Port of San Diego is a self-supporting Non-governmental organization public benefit corporation established in 1962 by
an act of the California State Legislature. In 2007, The U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics ranked the Port of San Diego
as one of America's top 30 U.S. containership ports bringing in nearly 3,300,000 metric tons (3,250,000 LT; 3,640,000 ST) of
cargo per year. Together with the National City Marine Terminal, the Port of San Diego is the primary port of entry for Honda,
Acura, Isuzu, Volkswagen, Nissan, Mitsubishi Fuso, and Hino Motors into America. The Port also holds a 20-year lease with
Dole Food Company bringing in much of the country's banana crop.
The Port is governed by a seven member Board of Port Commissioners; one commissioner each is appointed by the city
councils of Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach and National City, and three commissioners are appointed by the San
Diego City Council. The Board establishes policies under which the Port's staff – supervised by the Executive Director –
conducts its daily operation.
History
The San Diego Unified Port District was created in 1962 after the California State legislature passed Senate Bill 41 and the
San Diego County Board of Supervisors certified it. The citizens, in 1964, approved a $10.9 million bond for capital
improvements. Improvements included the development of a new air terminal, preparation for Harbor Island to be leased, and
construction of a new cargo terminal in National City. In 1970, the first cruise ship to offer scheduled cruises out of San Diego,
since the creation of the Port, began making 10-day trips to Mexico. In 1980, the Port in an effort to improve the ecological
balance of the Bay completed a wildlife refuge in Chula Vista. In 1983, The San Diego Cruise Industry Consortium was formed
to promote San Diego as a cruise destination and homeport. Then just three years later the B Street Pier Cruise Ship
Terminal was officially dedicated. That same year, over 26,000 passengers embarked and disembarked at the terminal. In
1989, the Port-funded, $165 million, waterfront San Diego Convention Center opened. In 1990, the Pasha Group began
importing vehicles (Isuzus) at the National City Marine Terminal. A total of 15,589 vehicle units were imported the first year.
Pasha now imports over 400,000 vehicles annually. In 1993, the Port and Tenth Avenue Cold Storage Company celebrated
the grand opening of San Diego's first on-dock cold storage facility, built for $11 million, at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal.
In 2001, the Board of Port Commissioners announced a major 20-year lease with Dole Food Company. This signified the
Port's entry into the refrigerated containerized cargo market. Dole ships 1.8 billion pounds of bananas annually.[1] Taken from
