# Nantucket (US ACK)

**UN/LOCODE:** US ACK  
**Country:** United States  
**Water Body:** North Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Natural)  
**GPS:** 41.2833, -70.1000

Open-deck ferries loaded with trucks pull into Nantucket year-round, carrying the food, building materials and supplies that keep the Massachusetts island running. The Steamship Authority operates this freight link from Hyannis, and it is the main route for commercial goods not flown in through the island's airport. There is no dedicated container terminal or international customs post here; cargo moves as roll-on/roll-off truck freight. With a harbour depth of only about 3.4 metres and a strongly seasonal, tourism-driven flow, Nantucket is a ferry and supply port rather than a sea-container facility. Containerised and overseas shipments route through mainland ports such as New Bedford or Boston.
