More than 10 million tons crossed New Haven's docks in 2016, ranking it around 53rd among US ports and the busiest on Long Island Sound. The 366-acre port district groups privately owned terminals along a federal channel dredged to about 35 feet, taking vessels of 20,000–40,000 dwt. Petroleum dominates — roughly 81% of waterborne commerce in 2012–2016 — handled by operators such as Shell, Magellan and Gulf. Dry bulk and project cargo follow: aggregates, cement, sand, stone, road salt, scrap and steel move through Gateway Terminal. No regular container line calls; the port's strength is liquid and dry bulk plus breakbulk. For containerised freight, New York/New Jersey is the nearest alternative.
