Fort Bay is the official and only port on the island of Saba and sits on the south side of the island, about 1 mile (1.6 km) by road from The Bottom. The port is very important for the island as most of its supplies arrive here by boat. The port currently has two piers. Before the construction of the first pier at Fort Bay in 1972, Ladder Bay (and its 800 perilous steps hand-cut out of the cliffside) was the only way to get any goods or people on or off the island. Since then, Fort Bay harbor has grown to two piers, the larger dedicated to cargo and dive boats, while the second smaller pier is mostly used by local fishermen. The port is also home to the Saba Sea Rescue Organization that have a rescue ship stationed just outside the mouth to the port. The ship is equipped with decompression tanks, rescue equipment and personnel. On land, there are also two decompression tanks that are used in diving emergency situations. During 2010–2011, various improvements were made to the Fort Bay harbor, including the quay wall, boat ramp, and retaining wall. More information...
