2015 is proving to be another banner year for Quonset's Port of Davisville. Governor Gina Raimondo announced the Port's sixth consecutive record breaking year for auto imports on October 27, surpassing last year's total with more than two months to spare.   This week, the 169th international vessel arrived at the Port of Davisville, breaking last year's record number of 168 ships.   Recognized this year by the American Journal of Transportation as "the Biggest Small Port in the U.S.," the Port of Davisville accounted for more than half of the import vessel calls arriving in the Narragansett Bay in 2014, and well over a third of all international ship traffic at Rhode Island ports and terminals.  The Port has consistently been one of the Top Ten auto importers in North America, and the roll on/roll off (RO/RO) cargoes are at nearly five times the volume they were just fifteen years ago. "The record breaking numbers for both vessels arriving and autos imported are another reflection of the robust growth we've had at the Port of Davisville in recent years," said Steven J. King, PE the Managing Director of the Quonset Development Corporation that manages the Port.  "That success is due to the outstanding collaboration we have with NORAD (North Atlantic Distribution, Inc) the major auto processor and distributor at the port.  This is an achievement all Rhode Islanders should be proud of."    With a month to go in 2015, the Port has already imported more than 190,000 autos compared to the 2014 total of 178,215.  The fact that cargo at Davisville is not subject to the federal Harbor Maintenance Tax, and the Port has available space to handle a significant amount of cargoes at any one time are major reasons for its growth.
