is an economic engine fueling the New England regional economy. The Port supports $8.2 billion in economic impact annually with 66,000 jobs. The economic impact has doubled since 2012 and over 2,500 businesses throughout New England utilize Conley Container Terminal. The Port has had five consecutive years of record-breaking growth, ending FY 2019 at more than 307,000 TEUs, an 8% increase over FY 2018.
The Port of Boston is investing in waterside and landside infrastructure to keep Conley Terminal competitive and cost-effective. Conley Terminal improvements include the construction of two 50-foot berths, expanded reefer storage, and new in-and-out gate facilities. The port is also purchasing three new ship-to-shore cranes, which are expected to arrive in 2021. Deepening Boston Harbor is key to keeping the port efficient, effective, competitive, and able to accommodate changes in the global shipping industry.
