Sea scallops define New Bedford (US NBD): the species accounts for around 84% of landings value at America's highest-grossing fishing port, worth roughly $451 million in 2023. On the North Atlantic coast of Massachusetts, the harbour also handles bulk and breakbulk cargo exceeding $230 million a year and is emerging as a staging base for the US offshore wind industry. There is no established international container line; traffic centres on seafood, project and heavy-lift cargo. Cold-chain handling and shoreside processing are extensive, with onward movement by truck and rail. For containerised freight, shippers turn to Boston's Conley Terminal or Providence.
