On the North Atlantic island of Bermuda, Hamilton is the territory's main port, handling more than half of its international trade. Its container terminal has four berths taking vessels up to 233 metres long at around 8 metres' draught, moving roughly 15,000 TEU and about 136,500 tonnes of cargo across some 400 calls a year. The island is supplied mainly by weekly feeder sailings of the Bermuda Container Line from Port Elizabeth, New Jersey, combining container and Ro-Ro loads. With little local production, traffic is overwhelmingly inbound consumer and capital goods, distributed by road across the small island. Hamilton is a supply port rather than a transshipment node, so consolidation for Bermuda is best handled at US East Coast gateways such as Port Elizabeth.
