About This Seaport
Raising the roadway of the Bayonne Bridge in 2017 unlocked neo-Panamax and ultra-large vessel calls and reshaped the Port of New York and New Jersey, the busiest container gateway on the US East Coast. Listed here as New York City (UN/LOCODE US NYC), the complex handled roughly 8.7 million TEU in 2024, with most box activity on the New Jersey shore at Newark and Elizabeth. APM Terminals (leased through 2062), Maher Terminals and Port Newark Container Terminal—the latter handling about 1.3 million TEU—anchor operations, alongside Port Liberty Bayonne, Port Liberty New York on Staten Island and Red Hook in Brooklyn. Consumer goods, furniture, reefer cargo such as food and pharmaceuticals, and industrial inputs dominate the trade serving the densely populated Northeast. Hinterland reach comes from the port's ExpressRail on-dock system plus CSX and Norfolk Southern double-stack services to the Midwest, backed by a dense highway network. As a major US Customs and Border Protection entry point, the port supports full import and export clearance. Forwarders looking to avoid peak congestion or surcharges weigh Norfolk (The Port of Virginia), Savannah or Baltimore as alternatives.
