Despite sitting inside one of the world's busiest harbours, Stapleton is not a working commercial cargo port. Its Homeport (Sullivan) Pier on Staten Island's eastern shore was built in the late 1980s as a US Navy base around the battleship USS Iowa and closed in 1994; the site is now the civilian New Stapleton Waterfront and handles no scheduled container or general-cargo traffic, though the pier is periodically studied for short-sea shipping and logistics use. Forwarders moving boxes through New York rely instead on the New York Container Terminal at Howland Hook on Staten Island, or the far larger Port Newark-Elizabeth complex across the bay.
