New Haven has become notable as the eastern terminus of the new ferry service linking the two islands. A modern roll-on-roll-off ferry terminal was constructed at New Haven at a cost of £1.5 million—the largest project so far undertaken by the Public Works Department of the Falkland Islands Government.^[2] The terminal was opened in a ceremony in November 2008 after 12 months of construction.^[3]

The ferry serving the route is the MV Concordia Bay, which is based at New Haven. It runs a regular service from the terminal to Port Howard on West Falkland since July 2008, carrying lorries, cars and people. The ferry is owned and operated by Workboat Services Ltd.^[4]
