About this Event
Join the Port of San Diego as we celebrate Maritime Month with a free educational bus tour of the working waterfront.
Maritime Month celebrates the sectors that contribute to our bay of life: cargo, cruise, shipbuilding and repair, and commercial and sportfishing. On this tour, you will experience the Port of San Diego’s two marine cargo terminals and see the waterfront like never before.
Lasting approximately one and a half hours, the tour visits the National City Marine Terminal, the most advanced vehicle import/export facility on the West Coast. Then, the tour continues onto our Port’s important local shipbuilding and repair industry tenants where large ships are being worked on. Finally, the tour takes you to the Port’s Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal where refrigerated goods, wind energy components, and other commodities arrive in the United States from abroad.
