The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced it handled 648,930 TEUs in April, positioning the port as the second busiest port in the United States for the first four months of the year.
“The import of fewer than 23,000 loaded TEUs separated the country’s top three busiest ports in April as US retailers work to move out goods stored in domestic warehouses during last year’s supply chain challenges and global production demands decline,” commented the port authority in a statement.
Meanwhile, it is important to note that the Port of New York and New Jersey moved 7% more cargo in April 2023 compared to pre-pandemic April 2019.
