The [[Port of Sacramento]] has been plagued with operating losses in recent years and faces bankruptcy. This severe loss in business is due to the heavy competition from the [[Port of Stockton]], which has a larger facility and a deeper channel. As of 2006, the city of [[West Sacramento, California|West Sacramento]] took responsibility for the Port of Sacramento. During the [[Vietnam War]] era, the Port of Sacramento was the major terminus in the supply route for all military parts, hardware, and other cargo going to Southeast Asia.
