Where most U.S. seaports handle boxes and bulk, Falmouth (US FMH) on Cape Cod moves trucks and people. Its Woods Hole terminal is the mainland base of the Steamship Authority, running year-round car-and-passenger ferries to Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard, seasonal sailings to Oak Bluffs, and services toward Nantucket. The freight that matters here travels by road trailer aboard those ferries — groceries, fuel, and construction materials that keep the islands supplied. The main harbour is shallow at roughly 1.8 m and otherwise serves recreational craft and the research fleet of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. There is no container, bulk, or international cargo handling. Shippers with deep-sea freight should use Boston or nearby New Bedford, a major commercial fishing and cargo port.
