Being a large port, and the lower entrance for the Grand Shipping Canal, Ship Maintenance and Shipping and Handling are important revenue earners. The massive Port Blanche Naval Base nearby in the protected Port Blanche Basin and the Kettering Shipyard Company also pump in considerable sums of money into the town. Commercial fishing is also a big revenue earner, and The Freethinkers' limited oil-extraction industry is also almost entirely based here. Unfortunately, heavy pollution has limited tourism somewhat, and there is little oppurtunity for mineral extraction and farming in the area.
