THE Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) ended the year with a new container record of 7,585,819 TEU, a 1.5 per cent increase compared with 2019's volume, reported Milwaukee's Progressive Railroading.
The PANYNJ also set a record high for rail cargo in 2020, when 705,895 containers moved through its intermodal network, a 6.2 per cent year on year increase. The new record was posted during the first full year of operations for the fourth and final on/near dock intermodal rail terminal, ExpressRail Port Jersey, PANYNJ officials said in a press release.
CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway serve the ports. Overall, imports grew 4.2 per cent in 2020 to a record high 3,946,326 TEU, while exports decreased 1.2 per cent to 3,639,493 TEU.
The Covid crisis led to vessel-call cancellations, sharp declines in factory production and restrictions on nonessential business worldwide during the spring and summer.
This spurred double-digit declines in imports at the port, resulting in losses of as much as 21.9 per cent compared with the same period in 2019.
