Shipment
Demographically, it is the 3rd largest in the U.S. in tonnage traffic. Its strategic location makes it the biggest and busiest on the West Coast. It serves the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, and D.C., and in times of special shipments, Maryland and Delaware, as they have smaller ports that might not accommodate some moving. The technical muscle found here makes moving ideal for all kinds of shipments, big or small.
The New York Harbor borders the Atlantic Ocean, offering deep waters for large cargo and container ships to dock. This works great for the port as larger cargo ships carrying heavier loads can comfortably dock in the District. The pier accommodated the largest ship ever to call at any East Coast port in July 2017. The deep waters of the harbor make it a favorite for moving. We deliver large cars like buses and RVs internationally, both imports and exports through it.
