About the Port of San Francisco
The Port of San Francisco handles cruise ships at Pier 27, ship repair and bulk cargo on the bay.
Who orders beef in San Francisco
Cruise ships order Choice and Prime cuts for the dining rooms and crew-mess beef for the crew, often chilled for turnaround day. Ships in repair yards still feed their crews, and we deliver to the yard gate. Container, bulk and ro-ro ships usually provision for the next ocean passage. We quote in kg with IMPA codes so the order matches the master's requisition. Ship chandlers in San Francisco can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.
How delivery works
We supply West Coast ports through partner ship chandlers and refrigerated freight from our frozen stock. Puget Sound is also our gateway to Alaska, and California is our gateway to Hawaii, so West Coast stock moves on to those trades.
In San Francisco your order reaches the berth or the chandler's warehouse in sealed cases, with the temperature log for the whole trip.
