About This Seaport
Maine's only container terminal handled about 38,300 TEU in 2024, yet containers are not Portland's (US PWM) largest trade — petroleum dominates by volume. Its International Marine Terminal, a roughly 13-hectare (33-acre) facility with a container crane and a refrigerated yard, handles frozen seafood, European imports and breakbulk, with Icelandic carrier Eimskip running its weekly transatlantic "Green Line" service to northern Europe, Iceland and the Baltic. Volumes hit a record of about 44,000 TEU in 2023, and a new cold-storage facility (around 10,000 m², operated by Taylor Logistics) is set to support reefer traffic. By tonnage, Portland and nearby Searsport together move about 125 million barrels of petroleum products, historically tied to the pipeline toward Montreal. Hinterland distribution is by road and rail, while passenger ferries use the Ocean Gateway and Casco Bay terminals. Forwarders needing larger container volumes or broader sailings turn to Boston (Conley Terminal) or Halifax; customs is handled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
