In April 2025, the Port of New York and New Jersey handled 751,190 TEUs, marking a 6% increase compared to April 2024, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ).
From January through April, the port processed a total of 2.9 million TEUs — up 9% from the same period last year.
The Port of New York and New Jersey remains the largest port on the U.S. East Coast and the third busiest in the country. Its six terminals and public berths handle a wide range of cargo, including containerized goods, roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro), bulk, breakbulk, and project cargo.
Founded in 1921, the Port Authority is responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of critical transportation infrastructure across both New York and New Jersey — including ports, airports, highways, and rail systems. It funds its infrastructure projects through self-generated revenue and external financing.
