Transloading & Devanning in Stockton, CA – SemiDock
Oakland Port Solutions
Introduction
International shipping often ends with a container arriving at a port or rail yard — but that’s only the beginning of the logistics journey. The process of container unloading (devanning) is critical to ensure your products are handled safely, inspected properly, and prepared for the next step in your supply chain.
At SemiDock, we provide professional container unloading and devanning services in Stockton, California, designed for importers, freight forwarders, and retailers. Our facility’s prime location near Oakland Port, Stockton Port, BNSF and Union Pacific rail lines, Stockton Airport, San Francisco, Sacramento, and the Bay Area makes us the ideal partner for businesses moving goods into California and across the U.S.

What Is Container Devanning?
Container devanning (also called stripping or unloading) is the process of removing cargo from containers after international shipping. This step is essential for:
-
Importers receiving overseas goods
-
Freight forwarders managing distribution for multiple clients
-
Retailers needing quick turnaround for store replenishment
-
E-commerce sellers preparing inventory for Amazon FBA or Walmart WFS
SemiDock ensures your freight is unloaded, inspected, sorted, and prepared for immediate storage or onward shipping.
