Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Paul D. Conley Container Terminal serves as the container facility for the Port of Boston. The terminal itself has been in use since World War II, when it was known as the Castle Island terminal. After Sea-Land pioneered shipping containers in the mid-1960s, Castle Island became one of the first such terminals in the country. After Sea-Land's lease ended in 1980, Massport built this larger terminal on the Castle Island site, which opened in 1984. Massport dredged the entrance channel to a depth of 45 feet (14 m) in the mid-1990s. Today, the facility is capable of handling Panamax and post-Panamax container ships.
