Pago Pago Harbor earns its reputation as one of the South Pacific's finest deep-water harbours: a fjord-like bay over 120 m deep cutting into the volcanic island of Tutuila. American Samoa's port lives off tuna — the StarKist cannery generates much of the territory's economy, and exported canned tuna is the dominant cargo. Throughput is mostly containerised, supplemented by inbound consumer goods for the island's population. Matson acts as shipping agent here, tying Tutuila into Pacific liner networks. Hinterland reach is, by geography, confined to the island. For transhipment or additional calls, Apia in neighbouring Samoa and Honolulu are the practical alternatives.
