Port Jersey

The area, east of the Greenville section of Jersey City was originally tidal marshes and white cedar swamps, and was first used for industrial purposes beginning in the 1800s.Anticipating the needs of the planned and existing super-panamax containerships which will call in the port upon the completion of the new Panama Canal Megalocks, NEAT was incrementally shut down and its share of the auto import/export market completely transferred to the Bayonne Auto Terminal and the Port Newark FAPS facility by 2011.The facility features 9,600 feet of track serviced by rail mounted gantry cranes that will have an annual capacity of 250,000 container lifts.The Port is primarily accessed by Exit 14A of the Newark Bay Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike, which underwent a $172 million reconstruction and expansion in 2018 to ease congestion for truckers and commuters.[27][28] The windfarm is part of a larger plan to expand the container port on the manmade peninsula to accommodate post-panamax ships.Port Jersey is the key transload terminal for solid waste from New York City barges to railcars.
