The Port of Blauhafen is the major seaport in the Republic of Hochberg. It is through this seaport, along with the one at English Harbour that the majority of goods pass in and out of Hochberg. The Port of Blauhafen is also home to the Hochen Navy.
Having been established since 1664, the Port has always played a major role in Hochen history, being the location for numerous vessel confiscations. It has also played a major strategic role for many years, being conveniently located at the mouth of the largest river on the island, the Waldfluß that flows straight up into Talstadt. A pair of 12-pounders from the HMS Athene still lie as monuments, in a fort guarding the Port - the historic quarters of which are now a major tourist attraction.
