Smokeless gunpowder in 1892, dyes and wartime chemistry, and today specialty manufacturing: the Deepwater waterfront on the Delaware River has served DuPont's and now Chemours' Chambers Works for well over a century. The port here is a private industrial wharf tied to that 1,455-acre chemical complex on the New Jersey shore, not a public cargo facility. It exists to land raw materials and ship chemical products, rather than to handle containers or general breakbulk. The approach channel runs to about 6.4 m, with the cargo pier near 7.9 m. Forwarders needing commercial throughput look across the river to the Port of Wilmington for fruit and roll-on/roll-off cargo, or to PhilaPort in Philadelphia for containers. In short, Deepwater is a works jetty with narrow, plant-specific relevance.
