The Port of New York and New Jersey is the largest container port on the U.S. East Coast and the third-largest in North America by TEU volume. Operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey across multiple marine terminals — APM Elizabeth, Maher, PNCT, GCT NY, GCT Bayonne, Red Hook — the port handles deep-water container service from every major global carrier alliance.
For Ramar customers, NY/NJ is the northern reach of our Atlantic Coast network. We drayage from PANYNJ terminals primarily for industrial-chemical importers consolidating Northeast distribution, freight forwarders running specialty hazmat-tier work, fireworks distributors clearing imported product into Northeast retail, and Class 9 lithium-battery freight bound for inland Northeast EV/component customers.
The drive time from Ramar's Wilmington NC home is the longest in our network (9 hours), so most NY/NJ drayage runs through team-driver coverage or Ramar-employed dispatch oversight on partner drayage when scheduling demands single-day turn.
