Terminal directory

Search by name, former name, operator or place, or filter by location and cargo. Every fact is cited; anything that changes day to day is on the linked official page.

How to check a container before dispatch

  1. Confirm the terminal. The ocean carrier's arrival notice names it. The directory above links each terminal's official site.
  2. Check availability and holds on the terminal's site or through PortTruckPass, whose shared portal (TIPS) lets motor carriers and cargo interests manage pickups and deliveries across the port's terminals.[14]
  3. Note the last free day exactly as the terminal or carrier shows it, and plan the pickup before it.
  4. Book the appointment in the terminal's system where one is required. APM Terminals names TERMPoint[6] and Port Liberty Bayonne names PortTruckPass.[7]
  5. Send the drayage carrier everything at once. The checklist is in the Port Newark drayage guide.

Other facilities at Port Newark

Port Newark is not only containers. The Port Authority lists vehicle processors at Port Newark[15] and a group of bulk and breakbulk operators with Port Newark addresses,[16] and Red Hook runs a RoRo terminal and a barge terminal there.[13][12] RapidShips does not publish pages or reviews for these businesses; the Port Authority's own lists are linked in the sources.

Why there are no separate terminal pages

A page per terminal would only repeat what each operator publishes and keeps current: gate hours, appointments, cutoffs, charges and availability. RapidShips will add a terminal page only when it has enough verified, lasting information to be more useful than the operator's own site.

Frequently asked questions

Which container terminals are in Port Newark and Port Elizabeth?
Port Newark has Port Newark Container Terminal (PNCT). Port Elizabeth, the Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal, has Maher Terminals and APM Terminals Elizabeth. The Port Authority also lists Port Liberty Bayonne at Port Jersey and Port Liberty New York on Staten Island.[1]
Is GCT Bayonne the same as Port Liberty Bayonne?
The Port Authority now lists the terminal at 302 Port Jersey Boulevard as Port Liberty Bayonne,[1] and the terminal says it is operated by the CMA CGM Group.[7] Older documents, including an earlier edition of the Port Authority's trucker guidebook, call it GCT Bayonne.[18] The Staten Island terminal is listed the same way, as Port Liberty New York.
Where do I check if my container is available for pickup?
On the terminal's own site, or through PortTruckPass, the shared portal the terminal operators set up for motor carriers and cargo interests.[14] RapidShips does not show container availability.
