New York New Jersey Rail (NYNJR), a Port Authority subsidiary, runs the last car-float operation in New York harbour from Greenville Yard — and that yard is essentially what the entry Jersey City (US JEC) covers today, rather than a stand-alone container or liner port. Two floats each carry 18 rail wagons across roughly 4.5 nautical miles of Upper New York Bay to the 65th Street Terminal in Brooklyn, several times a day Monday to Friday. The Port Authority has approved upgrades including up to two new transfer bridges at Greenville, larger car floats plus a 30-car rail barge, and ultra-low-emission locomotives. The region's containerised foreign trade instead moves through Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal, the third-busiest container port in the United States and about 15 km to the south-west, along with Port Liberty Bayonne. For forwarders serving metropolitan New York, container, customs and breakbulk shipments are routed via those terminals; Jersey City itself has limited freight relevance.
