The Port of Redwood City finished fiscal year 2026 with $11.8 million in gross revenue and 1.75 million metric tons of cargo, both up from the year before, the port announced. The San Mateo Daily Journal reported the same figures.
The numbers
- Revenue rose 2%. The port credits new rental agreements and the jump in cargo.
- Cargo tonnage rose 16%. The port says the added weight equals roughly 160,000 cars.
- Sand and aggregate grew the most, by roughly a third from fiscal 2025 to 2026.
The port calls itself the only deepwater port in the South San Francisco Bay and one of the fastest-growing small bulk ports in the United States.
New leadership
The five-member Board of Port Commissioners held officer elections on Oct. 14. Nancy Radcliffe, who is in her second term on the commission and spent 20 years on the Redwood City Planning Commission, is the new chair. Mike Claire, a former president of College of San Mateo and chancellor of the San Mateo County Community College District, is vice chair. Dani Gasparini, a former Redwood City mayor, is secretary.
Radcliffe said she wants to move forward on waterfront transportation work such as the Ferry Terminal Project, which aims to link the East Bay and San Francisco and strengthen the port's emergency response role.
"The Port of Redwood City made major strides in fiscal year 2026," said Executive Director Kristine Zortman.
The commission meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month.
