Our Mission

The Philadelphia Regional Port Authority, an independent authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has as its primary mission the enhancement of water-borne trade and commerce. As an organization committed to economic development and job creation, the Authority seeks to meet the needs of its customers by providing appropriate and efficient maritime facilities, equipment, and support services. Created with the financial backing of the state government, the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority intends to generate activity that will maximize port-related employment and revenues by promoting the use of the Philadelphia regional port system by Pennsylvania based industries. It is also committed to working in a cooperative spirit with other Delaware River port agencies to realize the potential of the regional port system.

The Philadelphia Regional Port Authority (PRPA) is an independent agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania charged with the management, maintenance, marketing, and promotion of the public port facilities along the Delaware River in Philadelphia, as well as protecting maritime-industrial activity in the port district. PRPA was created by an act of the Pennsylvania legislature in 1989.

PRPA works with its terminal operators to modernize and improve its facilities on a regular basis, and to market those facilities to current and prospective port users.

Port cargoes and the activity they generate are responsible for thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the Philadelphia area and throughout Pennsylvania.
