700 tankers come in to the SF bay daily......

Better check that stat. That is a lot of traffic to manage even without unloading time. That is one tanker entering the bay every two minutes 24 hours a day. At that rate they would be lined up half way across the Pacific.

How many unloading spots do they have, how long does it take to unload each tanker, do they take on something else or leave empty?

That number sounds way too large to me.

Thanks, it was. The article that printed that information was wrong. I went to the port data. Its 700 a year or about two a day for SF.
