Oakland, Calif.– November 2, 2011–Safety is the #1 priority at the Port of Oakland, and we ask that everyone approach today with calm and respect.

The Port of Oakland is open. This includes the Port's headquarters building, Oakland International Airport, Jack London Square, and the seaport, including ferry service.

At the seaport, marine terminals are generally operating, although the situation is fluid. Each of the Port's terminals operates independently, and Port staff are in close touch with terminal operators, shipping companies, and other tenants.

We will be providing periodic updates throughout the day. You can also keep abreast of information throughout the day via the Port's Twitter (portofoakland) and Facebook pages as well as the Port's homepage: www.portofoakland.com.
