All of our terminal facilities are located in close proximity, and have easy access, to all major trucking routes. I-95 runs adjacent to our port facilities, and I-76, a major east-west thoroughfare, has entrance ramps close to our terminals. Over 300 local trucking companies operate in the region, with a combined total of over 15,000 trucks. These trucking companies offer experience in every type of cargo handling, and regularly meet a substantial demand on the part of our terminals for as many as 1,500 reefer trucks per week, as well as heavy lift and specialized trucks.

Currently, the Port’s facilities are serviced by three class-one railroads: CP Rail, CSX, and Norfolk Southern. CP Rail provides regular services between Philadelphia and major eastern Canadian points of Montreal and Toronto. CSX provides daily service between Philadelphia and major midwestern, southern and southeastern U.S. destinations. Norfolk Southern provides double-stack intermodal service between Philadelphia and major midwest destinations.

The Port of Philadelphia is in the process of deepening from 40’ to 45’ the main channel of the Delaware River from the ocean to the marine terminals in Philadelphia and Camden. This process will take from 4 to 6 years. The deeper channel will be beneficial to both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In Pennsylvania, the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal, Piers 78, 80, 82, 84, 96, 122, & 124, Penn Terminals, the Aker Philadelphia Shipyard at the Philadelphia Naval Business Center, the three Sun Oil refineries, and the Tosco refinery will all benefit from a deeper navigation channel. In New Jersey, Beckett Street and Broadway Terminals, the Ocean Marine Terminal in Gloucester City, and the Coastal Eagle Point and Mobil Paulsboro refineries will also benefit from a deeper navigation channel.
