Cherry Point is an energy port, not a general-cargo gateway, sitting on the Strait of Georgia in Washington State. BP runs the state's largest refinery here, taking in crude by tanker via the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Rosario Strait at a pier near the headland and processing around 235,000 barrels a day. Deep water of about 23 m suits large tankers, but the profile is firmly limited to crude and petroleum products. Containers and conventional breakbulk are not handled; nearby industry includes the Ferndale refinery and a now-closed aluminium smelter. Hinterland links run by pipeline, road and rail. For containers and general cargo in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle and Tacoma (the Northwest Seaport Alliance) are the right gateways, with Bellingham handy for local breakbulk.
