Port of New Jersey and New York

The Port of New York and New Jersey, with its airports, container terminals and waterways, serves the needs of the New York-Newark metropolitan area. As the busiest port on the East Coast, it plays a vital role in the region's logistics and supply chain network. The key industrial areas this port supports include:

  1. Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal: This is the largest and most significant industrial area served by the port.
    It consists of two primary terminals: Maher Terminal and APM Terminal. Maher Terminal is the largest on the East Coast, with an annual capacity of 2.4 million TEU. These terminals handle a vast amount of containerised cargo and are critical for the distribution of goods throughout the Northeastern United States.
  1. Port Liberty: Located in Bayonne, New Jersey, and Staten Island, New York, Port Liberty includes award-winning facilities with semi-automated operations capable of handling large vessels.
    The terminal is strategically important for its proximity to major truck routes and rail connections, facilitating efficient movement of goods from the port to inland destinations.
  1. New Jersey Industrial Hub: The broader industrial area of New Jersey, including cities like Newark, Jersey City, and the Meadowlands, heavily relies on the port.
    These areas house numerous warehouses, distribution centres, and factories that are integral to the regional economy.
