Port Jersey, Container terminal in Bayonne, United States.
Port Jersey is a container terminal in Bayonne on the Upper New York Bay that connects ships, trucks, and trains together. The facility processes large volumes of freight daily from around the world and directs shipments to destinations throughout the Northeast.
The port facility was built between 1972 and 1976 when wetland areas were transformed into a modern shipping terminal. This project was part of the region's infrastructure planning to support the growing containerization of maritime trade.
The port represents the evolution of maritime trade in the region, connecting international commerce with local distribution networks across multiple states.
The site features direct rail access that reduces truck traffic and speeds up cargo movement across the region. Visitors can observe operations from elevated viewpoints or nearby embankments to watch the activities from a safe distance.
The facility also processes waste from New York City and loads it onto rail cars for transport to landfills in other states. This dual role as both a port and waste processing site makes the location particularly important to regional infrastructure.
