Ocean Carrier Services in the Port of Boston 


Some of the world's largest container carriers call at the Port of Boston, opening up markets to more than 104 ports around the globe. The Port of Boston's trading areas include Europe, the Mediterranean, North and South Asia, the Middle East, and South America.

The Port of Boston is served twice weekly by Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).
 
  • MSC offers a weekly service from Europe (Bremerhaven, Felixstowe, Antwerp, and LeHavre) with Boston as the first U.S. port inbound.
  • MSC offers a weekly service from the Mediterranean (Naples, La Spezia, Valencia, and Sines) with Boston as the first U.S. port inbound.

China Ocean Shipping Company
(COSCO) and its partners, "K" Line, Yang Ming Line, and Hanjin call Boston weekly, providing direct service between Boston and ports in China (Qingdao, Shanghai, Yantian, and Hong Kong). The Port of Boson is the last U.S. port outbound.

Columbia Coastal Transport provides a weekly barge service between Boston and New York carrying containers from many other shipping carriers moving cargo into and out of New England.

Boston is New England’s gateway to the Midwest via truck or rail, providing low outbound truck rates and fast intermodal transit times. Cargo off-loaded in Boston can reach Chicago in 24 hours by truck or 32 hours by rail.
