About us
The Port of Boston is a strategic regional gateway, servicing the New England economy through international trade, seafood processing, and cruise tourism. The Port generates more than $8 billion in annual economic impact and supports 9,000 direct jobs. Nearly half of the economic activity generated by the Port of Boston comes from Massport’s maritime facilities including container shipments through Conley Container Terminal, cruise ships calling on Flynn Cruiseport Boston, automobiles handled at the Boston Autoport, and seafood processing and distribution operations at the Fish Pier and Massport Marine Terminal. The activity at Massport’s maritime facilities creates good paying, blue-collar jobs that support local families including truckers, longshoremen, freight forwarders, tugboat pilots, harbor pilots, shipping agents, and seafood workers.
