Within Connecticut's trio of deepwater ports on Long Island Sound, Bridgeport handles chiefly domestic coastal trade rather than international liner cargo, drawing around 120 vessel calls a year. Its waterborne traffic is led by petroleum products, sand and gravel, lumber, building materials and scrap iron and steel, complemented by breakbulk and roll-on/roll-off movements. A privately run passenger-and-vehicle ferry links Bridgeport across the Sound to Port Jefferson, New York — reinforced since December 2024 by the new MV Long Island. Container and overseas line services are not part of the port's profile. Hinterland access runs via Interstate I-95 and the regional rail network in the busy New York–Boston corridor. For containers or deep-sea services, New Haven and the ports of New York/New Jersey are the obvious alternatives.
