The Port of Portland is a seaport located in Portland, Maine. It is the second-largest tonnage seaport in New England as well as one of the largest oil ports on the East Coast (the second-largest prior to 2016). It is the primary American port of call for Icelandic shipping company Eimskip.
There are nine terminals in the port according to the Maine Port Authority, a statewide agency that oversees Maine's commercial marine facilities. Additionally there are two passenger facilities, the Ocean Gateway International Marine Passenger Terminal and the Casco Bay Ferry Terminal.
The majority of Portland's non-passenger terminals are for petroleum products, especially the Portland–Montreal pipeline, which has gradually reduced its capacity since 2010. Container shipping through Portland has increased considerably over that same period.
100 cruise ships docked in Portland in 2019, making it Maine's second-largest cruise ship port behind Bar Harbor. A regional ferry service, Casco Bay Lines, also operates out of the Port of Portland.
