| Description: | Portland Harbor, at the western end of Casco Bay, is the most important port on the coast of Maine. The ice-free harbor offers secure anchorage to deep-draft vessels in all weather. There is considerable domestic and foreign commerce in petroleum products, wood pulp, paper, seafood products, and general cargo. It is also the Atlantic terminus of pipeline shipments of petroleum
products to Canada.
The outer harbor comprises the area westward of Cushing, Peaks, House, and Great and Little Diamond Islands from the entrance at Portland Head to the entrance
of Fore River at Fish Point, including the three deepwater general anchorages and the oil discharging berth westward of Spring Point. The Coast Guard Captain
of the Port, Portland advises the minimum visibility
requirements for deep draft vessels for Portland Outer Harbor are ½ mile. |
