Once a busy shipbuilding town that launched some 600 vessels, Essex (US EEX) now serves pleasure boats and marinas rather than commercial cargo. Sitting six miles up the Connecticut River with a channel of only about 1.8 metres, it cannot take modern freight vessels. There is no container, reefer or RoRo handling and no commercial customs presence, so freight relevance is minimal. Cargo bound for this part of Connecticut moves through the deep-water ports of New Haven or New London.
