Commodity Container Assistance Program

 

CCAP provides assistance to eligible owners or designated marketing agents of U.S. agricultural products for eligible shipping containers from the Port of Oakland and designated ports associated with the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA). To ensure owners of American-grown agricultural products are able to ship their products from U.S. ports to global markets, the program will support improved use of empty shipping containers, along with the prepositioning and temporary storage of filled containers near export terminals, to ensure agricultural shippers can deliver products to their customers.
