A perfect location in the heart of the U.S. Northeast and a world-class

transportation infrastructure offering unsurpassed access to national

and international markets have helped make New Jersey an international

gateway and growing hub for logistics and distribution.

Located in the center of one of the most concentrated and affluent consumer

markets in the world, a distribution center in central New Jersey can serve

more than 22 million consumers with nearly $800 billion in income within a

2-hour drive. This makes New Jersey ideal for same-day deliveries, attracting

companies like Amazon, Blue Apron, Fresh Direct, HelloFresh, Peapod and

ShopRite.

In fact, New Jersey’s strategic location offers easy access via road, rail, air

or sea to virtually every place on the planet. Nearly 25,000 transportation,

logistics and distribution establishments are located in New Jersey,

including companies like Barnes & Noble, Coca-Cola, Crate & Barrel,

Destination Maternity, Goya Foods, The Home Depot, Subaru, Volkswagen,

Wakefern Food Corporation, Williams-Sonoma and W.W. Grainger.

ONE OF AMERICA’S BUSIEST SEAPORTS

New Jersey is home to the Port of New York and New Jersey, the 3rd largest

seaport in North America and the largest and busiest maritime cargo center

on the East Coast. Ranked #1 in the Jones Lang LaSalle Seaport Index for

three consecutive years, the deep water Port of New York and New Jersey

offers quick and easy transport of goods and products to national and

international markets.

Managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the deep

water ports of Newark, Elizabeth and Bayonne, when combined with the

Authority’s regional air cargo network, serve as a North American gateway

for international freight and a leading hub for domestic cargo. The port

handles every type of cargo imaginable including containers, roll-on/roll-off

automobiles (Ro-Ro), liquid and dry bulk, breakbulk and specialized project

cargo, with 54 container cranes ready to handle all types of cargo. The dollar

value of all cargo that moved through the port was $200 billion in 2016.

The ExpressRail system provides direct ocean-to-rail intermodal capabilities,

with on-dock rail lines. Three port companies supply floating derricks,

including the largest on the East Coast. In addition, the area hosts a wide

selection of freight forwarders, brokers, financial firms, specialized export

packers and other services to move cargo efficiently and quickly from the port

to its destination by road or rail.

To accommodate post-Panamax activity at Port Newark/Elizabeth, a

$1.3 billion rebuilding project to raise the clearance of the Bayonne Bridge

was completed. The project raised the bridge’s clearance to 215 feet to

accommodate larger ships coming from Asia to the East Coast after the

expansion of the Panama Canal.

New Jersey also boasts one of the largest contiguous foreign trade zones in

the U.S. FTZ #49 encompasses 2,100 acres at the Port Newark/Elizabeth

Marine Terminal, plus another 1,800 acres at several sub-zones in the area.

A major development project has also been completed at the Paulsboro

Marine Terminal on the Delaware River in South Jersey. The South Jersey

Port Corporation (SJPC) in conjunction with Holt Logistics Corp. constructed

a new, state-of-the-art marine terminal. The 190-acre facility is the first new

multi-purpose marine terminal to be constructed on the Delaware River in

over 50 years and is a modern multi-faceted facility that will increase shipping

capacity for a full range of commodities.
