"In 2008, the Port of New York and New Jersey handled 5.3 million loaded and unloaded 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs). Loaded containerized cargo volumes rose 1.7 percent, led by continued growth in trade with Asia and North Europe. The dollar value of all cargo that moved through the port exceeded $190 billion, a new record. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is investing $246 million in seaport-related improvements in 2009 to enable the Port to better handle projected growth.
In addition, ExpressRail, the Port Authority's on-dock rail system in New York and New Jersey, set a new record in 2008, handling 377,827 cargo containers, an increase of almost 20,000 over 2007. "
