Despite its database label, Cruz Bay is not a container port – it is the passenger and supply gateway to St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Car ferries and freight barges operated by firms such as Big Red Barge and Love City Car Ferries shuttle vehicles, groceries and building materials across from Red Hook on St. Thomas, while dedicated cargo barges berth at the nearby Theovald Moorehead Terminal at Enighed Pond. There is no scheduled container line service and no separate international customs clearance here; goods for St. John move through St. Thomas (Crown Bay) and the regional transhipment hub of San Juan, Puerto Rico. For forwarders, Cruz Bay is the final barge leg of a supply chain rather than its ocean entry point, so containerised or project cargo should be routed via St. Thomas with onward barge distribution planned in.
