Ship Supplier & Ship Chandler in RICHMOND (USRCH) - AVS

RICHMOND (USRCH)—also associated with Point Richmond, located in California, United States, on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay / U.S. West Coast—is a strategically important deepwater seaport, liquid bulk port, dry bulk handling location, metals and breakbulk cargo point, vehicle and Ro-Ro logistics hub, project cargo support area, tug and service craft operating location, and Bay Area industrial maritime gateway. The port is strongly associated with Port of Richmond operations, San Francisco Bay vessel movements, liquid bulk cargo, dry bulk cargo, metals, vehicles, breakbulk shipments, Ro-Ro and automotive logistics, project cargo, industrial cargo handling, tugs, barges, service craft, and U.S. West Coast vessel support.

Public port references identify USRCH as a UN/LOCODE used for Richmond / Point Richmond, while port references describe Richmond as a deepwater San Francisco Bay port handling bulk liquid, dry bulk, metals, vehicles, and breakbulk cargo.
