For freight on the Hudson, the choice at Newburgh is between barge and rail rather than container ship: a CSX line runs along the river bank, and tug-and-barge tows move bulk and breakbulk cargo to and from the New York metropolitan area. Newburgh is a small river port about 100 km north of New York City, with a channel depth near 7.9 m that suits coastal vessels and lighters but not the large box ships handled downstream. Container volumes and full customs clearance are concentrated at Newark and Elizabeth in the Port of New York and New Jersey, so forwarders rarely route international containers through Newburgh itself. The port's value lies in regional barge movements, project cargo and intermodal transfers to CSX rail; for containerised or customs-heavy shipments, the New York/New Jersey terminals are the practical option.
