About This Seaport
Philadelphia (US PHL) posted a second consecutive record in 2025, moving about 889,000 TEU — 446,000 export and 443,000 import — up 6% on 2024. Roughly 64% of containerised imports are perishables, led by Chilean and Peruvian fruit alongside meat and fresh produce. The Packer Avenue Marine Terminal, the port's main container facility some 130 km up the Delaware River, now offers over 4,000 reefer plugs after expansion by operator Holt Logistics. Federal funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is financing the port's first new berth in 50 years, with a second berth and roughly 10 acres of infill expansion targeted for 2027. A new 165,000-square-foot cold- and frozen-storage warehouse next to the dock is due to open in 2026, backed by an $85 million Pennsylvania state investment. PhilaPort has requested about $530 million in capital funding for 2026-2027 as part of a plan to lift Packer Avenue capacity to 1.2 million TEU. For higher container-service frequency, shippers still weigh New York/New Jersey or Baltimore.
