The International Maritime Center

The International Maritime Center (IMC) operates dynamically within the broader Bay Area as a vital hospitality and wellness hub supporting international merchant mariners at the Port of Oakland. Based out of its facility at Berth 40, the non-profit center is run by the Seafarers' Ministry of the Golden Gate to deliver physical, social, and spiritual care to crews arriving from global trade routes. Their targeted regional operations provide essential ship visits, dockside transportation, and recreational amenities, ensuring crucial wellness infrastructure and community support for the maritime workers who power the region's supply chains.
