On item: A major component of service at Massport's Moran Terminal in Charlestown is feeder barge service from New York and Halifax. Containers bound for New England customers first arrive via container vessels and are then transferred to a barge for transit to the Port of Boston. Upon arrival, the barge is unloaded with Massport's gantry cranes and the containers travel the rest of their route by truck to consignees throughout the six-state region. Boston Port/1740.
