The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced Monday that the Port Newark Container Terminal and Global Terminal in Jersey City, New Jersey opened for business on Monday morning. Vessel traffic into the container terminal was expected to resume Monday evening.
Additionally, the Port Elizabeth Terminal opened for business. Four cargo vessels were expected at Maher Terminal and one cargo vessel was expected at APM Terminal. Longshoremen were back to work and unloading cargo at approximately 8:00 a.m. Monday morning.
Restoration of power continues to be a key requirement in returning the port to full operations. All roadways are cleared for safe passage and PAPD will direct traffic for all port employees. The storm surge caused nearly four feet of water throughout the port.
