Kingscote is Kangaroo Island's main town, but as a freight port its role is limited rather than commercial. The wharf on Nepean Bay takes only smaller vessels, and the scheduled cargo service to Adelaide ended when the Island Seaway was withdrawn in 1995. Island freight now moves via the Cape Jervis–Penneshaw ferry, leaving Kingscote mainly to administration, tourism and cruise-ship tenders. For commercial shipments, Penneshaw and Port Adelaide are the relevant options.
