The Port of Oakland, which regularly handles 2 million TEUs/year, has 4 container terminals and 21 berths for ships. It has handled 1.72 million TEUs this year so far. For this volume 82 ships called on the Port in September with an average of 2,193 TEUs/ship for a total of 178,942 TEUs for the month. The 2-berth PCIP project is designed to handle 13 ships/month with a throughput of 167,000 TEUs/month (2 million/year). This would mean that every 13,000 TEU container ship that arrived in Coos Bay would have to unload half of its containers and reload a similar amount. This is not how container shipping companies work, they visit several ports unloading and loading at each one.
