Set in a deep natural bay on the northeastern shore of Samos, Vathy is the largest of the island's three commercial harbours. Its quays mainly handle passenger and car ferries to Piraeus and Kavala, with occasional freight ferries carrying general cargo and island supplies. There is no confirmed container terminal or scheduled liner container service; the island is provisioned through RoRo and ferry traffic. A customs hall handles travellers arriving from non-EU countries, but larger commercial imports are cleared via mainland gateways. Forwarders moving containers or project cargo for the eastern Aegean rely on Piraeus, while Vathy suits ferry, RoRo and local supply consignments.
