Despite record snow in the northeast and particularly in Philadelphia this past winter, the facilities of the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority operated in business-as-usual fashion, and in fact saw several big increases in cargo.
Highlights include the following:
Containerized cargo continued its upward trend. In January and February 2014, 60,713 TEUs compared to the 45,517 TEUs handled during the same period of 2013, a 33% gain. Counted as tonnage, this amounts to 384,115 tons of containerized cargo handled so far this year compared to the 318,117 tons moved that same period last year, a 21% gain.
