Conley Terminal serves two of the world’s top 10 container lines and handles nearly 1.5 million metric tons of cargo each year. Located in South Boston, the terminal moves at the speed of business.
Boston's top imports through Conley Terminal are alcoholic beverages, frozen seafood, footwear and furniture. Top exports include hides and skins, automobiles, logs and lumber, frozen seafood, paper including waste paper, and scrap metal.
A $30 million investment in equipment and dock improvements allows for fast loading and unloading of multiple ships while maintaining efficient container receiving and delivery operations. The 45’ deep-water berth terminal is equipped with six post-Panamax container gantry cranes and twelve rubber tire gantry cranes (RTGs). This enables even the most demanding steamship carriers and shippers to move cargo and avoid the time and cost of trucking to New York.
