Seasonal coastal and excursion vessels, not scheduled freighters, make up almost all of Bangor's traffic today — this tidal port sits about 40 km up the Penobscot River in Maine. There is no container, breakbulk or dry-bulk terminal here, so for forwarders the practical cargo relevance is limited. Regional ocean freight instead moves through Searsport (Mack Point), the deep-water terminal run by Sprague that handles petroleum, dry bulk and project cargo, and through Portland for containers and conventional shipments. Mack Point is also being assessed as Maine's potential offshore-wind port, reinforcing its role as the area's cargo gateway. Shallow channel depths of around 3 to 6 metres further restrict the vessels Bangor itself can receive.
