International Ferry Terminal ⛴️ Tenders in Action ⚠️#vacationland #cruiseship #maine
Portland allows up to three cruise ships in its harbor simultaneously on specific days when it is physically and operationally feasible, though this is rare for "large" ships. While the city has two primary deep-water berths capable of handling large vessels, it can accommodate a third if one ship uses a tender (a smaller boat) to transport passengers to the shore.Port Capacity & BerthingPrimary Berths: Portland typically docks two large ships at once using its existing infrastructure, including the Portland Ocean Terminal and the Ocean Gateway.
