Hyannis matters less for what it ships abroad than for what it keeps moving to two islands cut off from the mainland road network. From its Nantucket Sound terminal on Cape Cod, the Steamship Authority runs car ferries and dedicated freight vessels to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, while Hy-Line Cruises operates fast passenger catamarans. The freight boats, several converted from Gulf-Coast offshore supply ships, carry groceries, building materials and general cargo that the islands cannot receive any other way. This is domestic lifeline traffic, not international shipping: there is no container liner service, customs clearance or deep-sea cargo here. The approach channel carries only about 3.4 m, and the terminal sits centrally on School Street. Importers with intercontinental or containerised freight use Boston or New Bedford instead.
