Port of Davisville

The Port of Davisville, situated in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, is a leading gateway for automobile importation and cargo handling on the East Coast. As one of the top ten automobile importers in North America, the port specializes in efficient processing and distribution of vehicles, while also accommodating bulk, breakbulk, and roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) cargo. The port plays a significant role in Rhode Island’s economy by supporting thousands of jobs and driving regional growth. In recent years, Davisville has undergone over $150 million in infrastructure enhancements, including modernized terminals and deepened berths, to meet growing industry demands and support Rhode Island’s position as a hub for offshore wind activities. These ongoing investments underscore its strategic importance not just to the state, but to maritime trade throughout New England. With its proximity to interstate highways, air freight connections, and its Foreign Trade Zone designation, the Port of Davisville is well-positioned for continued growth and evolving cargo trends.
