Port of New York, New Jersey container terminals closed by winter storm
Container terminals at the Port of New York and New Jersey remained closed on Feb. 2 amid a severe winter storm that brought heavy snow and 40-45 mph winds, the port authority said.
New Jersey’s Port Newark Container Terminal (PNCT) and AMP Terminal Port Elizabeth (AMPT) and New York’s Global Container Terminal closed on Feb. 1 and plan to reopen on Feb. 3.
Ship waiting times at the terminals were already at 24-48 hours before the storms hit the region due to high import volumes, Danish shipping firm A.P. Moller-Maersk said in an advisory to customers on Jan. 28.
