The Port of Providence is one of the oldest operating ports in the United States. First utilized by colonial commerce, it has progressed to its current status as the premier bulk and speciality cargo facility serving the northeastern region of the Untied States. Located at the top of the Naragansett Bay and on the Providence River, ProvPort offers vessels six deep water berths that exceed the depths associated with other northeastern ports. In addition, ProvPort has over 300,000 square feet of warehouse space, generous outside storage areas, railroad access to all major, national lines, heavy lifting capacity, and a productive and flexible work force.
