The New Haven Port Authority serves to enhance the economic competitiveness of the greater New Haven region and all of Connecticut through waterborne transportation.
The Port of New Haven is an integral component to the regional economy and is equally beneficial to the transportation infrastructure. New Haven is the largest deepwater port in Connecticut and a leading port of call on the Atlantic Seaboard. Of the 18.4 million short tons of waterborne commerce in Connecticut in 2002, 10.1 million moved through New Haven (55.1%). In the past three years, New Havena??s port traffic has grown by 16.7%, and its share of Connecticuta??s total has risen 13%. New Haven primarily receives petroleum; it handled 71.9% of all petroleum movements in Connecticut ports in 2002 (up from 55% in 1999). New Haven also handled 98.7% of all manufactured goods.
