Information About the Port of Philadelphia

Located near the navigable end of the Delaware River, the Port of Philadelphia falls within Philadelphia’s municipal boundaries. It contained several marine terminals—each with their own separate capability. For example, there is the Tioga Marine Terminal which handles the fruit business of Chile, as well as containers, breakbulk cargo, and steel. There is also the Packer Marine Terminal which handles containers, frozen meat, fruit, and more.

The other piers handle everything from cocoa products to newsprint to lumber.

In that year, the port handled more than 167,000 TEU; this was compared to the Port of Los Angeles that handled more than 5,496,000 TEU. That same year, the port ranked 24th in terms of cargo tonnage—handling over 35.1 million tons of cargo; the port of South Louisiana came in first having handled 229 million tons.
