The Port of New York and New Jersey offers shippers access to the largest, and most affluent market in America, 21 million consumers at its core and 100 million within a day’s truck drive. Six container operators move 4.8 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent container units)annually – by far the largest volume of container traffic on the East Coast of North America. And the numbers are growing. In order to maintain this resource and meet the ever-increasing market demand for international goods, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is in the midst of an extensive redevelopment of the port to increase handling capacity. Our $2 billion investment ensures container terminals are reconfigured for maximum productivity and efficiency. Our on-dock rail capabilities are expanding to improve inland access and channels and berths are deepened for superior ocean access. By advancing these improvements, we are working with our port partners and customers to remain the largest port on the East Coast.
