Filed under US ZZM, South Amboy is a small berth on the Raritan River within the wider Port of New York and New Jersey. Once the only point in that port cleared to unload commercial explosives from rail cars—and the site of a deadly 1950 powder-pier blast—it now carries limited commercial freight relevance and handles no significant container or liner traffic. Rail and road connections exist, but containerised import and export cargo for the region clears through Port Newark-Elizabeth. Shippers needing customs-cleared box or breakbulk capacity should route to that nearby terminal.
