Port of Oakland Inner Harbor Turning Basin

The Inner Harbor Turning Basin (IHTB) is a critical component of the -50 Foot Project at the Port of Oakland (ranked 4th nationally, 20th worldwide), located in San Francisco Bay, California. The Project was authorized in the Federal Water Resources Development Act of 1999 at a cost of $252,290,000 (Federal/non- Federal share of $128,081,000/$124,209,000). Construction started in September 2001 and included expanding and deepening: the Harbor Entrance, Outer and Inner Harbor channels and turning basins. The IHTB project expands the 1200 foot diameter turning circle to 1500 feet and deepens the Federal channel to -50 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). The expansion required demolition of nearby structures, for which the Port of Oakland successfully negotiated agreements with the City of Alameda, and agreements with impacted landowners and businesses to secure the necessary lands, easements, rights-of-way and relocations. Stakeholders include the Port of Oakland, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Coast Guard, contractors, the San Francisco Bar Pilots, and impacted businesses located near the IHTB.
