Despite the name, Jersey City (US JEC) is not a stand-alone freight port for containers or liner services today. Its waterfront is essentially the historic Greenville Yard on Upper New York Bay, a rail and car-float facility that barges rail wagons to Brooklyn and supports the neighbouring Port Liberty Bayonne container terminal and waste flows. The region's containerised foreign trade instead moves through the Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal, the third-busiest container port in the United States. For practical purposes, forwarders serving metropolitan New York route shipments via Port Newark/Elizabeth or Port Liberty, and Jersey City itself has limited freight relevance.
