Full Coverage
Seismic trade policy shifts and raging geopolitics failed to hamper June container traffic through the Port of New York-New Jersey. The leading U. S. East Coast hub was also the nation’s second-busiest cargo gateway for loaded twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in June after Los Angeles-Long Beach, moving 503,016 loaded TEUs over the month.
That was an improvement of 7. 6% from June 2025, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Overall June volume of 769,422 TEUs was better by 11. 9%, and an indication of an earlier, front-loaded peak shipping season driven by changing federal trade policy.
Over the first half of the year, the port moved 4,427,159 TEUs, which it said was virtually even with the prior year.
