Ports Listing and Resources
Defining and locating U.S. ports is complex, as Congress uses different definitions of “port” and “port terminal” across statutes and programs. This page brings together the principal reference lists and data sources so readers can identify the nation’s ports and their associated facilities.
The MARAD Gateway Offices maintain a list of contacts of U.S. Port Authorities, U.S. Port Districts, and U.S. Port Commissions.

The Principle Ports dataset is periodically updated by the United States Army Corp of Engineers and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation/Bureau of Transportation Statistics National Transportation Atlas Database. The ports are defined by port limits or Corps projects. The determination for the published Principal Ports is based upon the total tonnage for the port for the particular year, therefore the top 150 list can vary from year to year. As of CY 2023 - the latest year available - the 150 principle Ports are:

Under the Deepwater Port Act of 1974 (33 U.S.C. § 1502 (9)), a deepwater port is any fixed or floating, man-made structure—situated beyond state seaward boundaries—that is used, or intended for use, as a port or terminal for the transportation, storage, or further handling of oil or natural gas (including LNG). Because these facilities sit in federal waters, they must obtain a Deepwater Port license issued by the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), in coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard, before construction and operation can begin.
A program overview can be found at the Ports page in the Economic Security section of our website, including a list of approved Deepwater ports.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection designates specific locations—seaports, airports, and land crossings—where its officers are legally authorized to clear cargo and passengers, collect duties, and enforce customs and immigration laws. CBP operates more than 300 ports of entry nationwide, including approximately 170 port of entry via waterborne transit.
The CBP Ports of Entry codes are used along with port descriptions and notations to define the ports and port areas that are subject to and exempt from Harbor Maintenance Fees, a list of which can be found here.
The U.S. Census Bureau is the steward of the Schedule D "Classification of CBP Districts and Ports". Please find a list of Ports and Districts below, or at Census's online Schedule D.

Compiled by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Maritime Safety Office, the World Port Index is the U.S. government’s global directory of ports, harbors, terminals, and offshore facilities. The database—covering almost 4,000 locations world-wide—lists each site’s precise coordinates plus more than 100 coded attributes on water depth, cargo‐handling equipment, repair capability, and other services. Below is a summary table of ports of U.S. and U.S. territories as of 2019; the full database including port attributes can be found at the Maritime Safety Office website.
