About This Seaport
PSA Penn Terminals anchors maritime activity at Chester (US CHT), operating the main cargo facility on this stretch of the Delaware River's west bank — a waterway that handles close to 40 % of US fruit imports. The berths take containers, breakbulk, project and refrigerated cargo, with fresh fruit, steel, paper, cocoa beans and frozen beef among the signature commodities of the wider Delaware Valley. Sitting between Wilmington and Philadelphia, Chester works as a specialised reefer and project-cargo berth rather than a mainline container call. In 2025 the operator is shifting to electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes and adding a reefer racking system to lift throughput within the existing footprint. Road access via Interstate 95 and rail links connect the quay to consumer markets across the US Northeast, while customs clearance falls under the US CBP port district of Philadelphia. Shippers needing scheduled container services typically route through Packer Avenue in Philadelphia or the Port of Wilmington.
