The Port of Boston is located on the west shore of Massachusetts Bay and is the largest container port in New England. Its core facility is Conley Terminal, with water depths of about 40-47 ft, able to handle the latest generation of container vessels. The port is close to downtown with an extensive highway network; imports consist mainly of consumer goods, food and industrial products, and winter ice and snow can slightly affect schedules.
All-water US East Coast transit is about 30 to 36 days; as most services discharge at New York/Norfolk and move north by short-haul trucking or rail, allow an extra 1-3 days depending on the transshipment arrangement.
