Philadelphia is the northern bookend of Ramar's Atlantic Coast network. As a multi-terminal port system anchored by Packer Avenue Marine Terminal, PhilaPort handles container, breakbulk, ro/ro, and project cargo across the Delaware River. Ramar drays from Philadelphia for Class 1 freight — primarily fireworks distribution into the Northeast retail corridor and commercial-ammunition consolidations bound for inland customers.
Philadelphia's FTZ status — designated FTZ #35 covering the broader region — supports bonded movement for the customers who need it. Ramar coordinates bonded drayage from Philadelphia terminals into FTZ-eligible inland warehouses when the lane calls for it.
The drive time from Ramar's Wilmington NC home is the longest in our network (8 hours), so most Philadelphia drayage runs through team-driver coverage or partner drayage with continuous Ramar-employed dispatch oversight.
