August, 1925 MAR IN EF 3 ee ¥ 1 REVIEW 11 PORT NEWARIC A deep-water terminal—part of the Port of New York—where lighterage between rail and keel is completely eliminated Port Newark, by reason of its strategic location on the New Jersey mainland, is in a position to intercept about 80% of the freight consigned through the Port of New York before it enters the congested area along the west shore of the Hudson. This saving of time is further increased by the complete elimination at Port Newark of lighterage or rehandling of cargoes be- tween rail and keel. Loaded motor trucks or freight cars can be shunted directly along- side ocean steamers at the Port Newark docks, where cargoes are transferred direct from car to hold in one operation. Port Newark has a channel approach 400 feet wide from the Kill Van Kull right up to the waterfront, with a depth of 31 feet m. 1. w. Ideal loading con- ditions are provided by a 7,000 foot inshore ship canal, 670 feet wide, paralleled by 8,000 feet of docks which are equipped with paved roadways, rail sidings, and complete freight handling facilities. Fireproof warehouses, also equipped with rail sidings SCRANTONO tee ScHENECTAOY ALBANY and paved roadways, provide more than 2,000,000 square feet of storage space— enough to accommodate the contents of 7,500 average box cars. In addition to this protected storage space, there are 40 acres available for open storage. Although the facilities at Port Newark are unequalled anywhere else along the seaboard, its rates for dockage, storage and stevedor- ing compare favorably with those in effect at other Atlantic Ports. Fore-sighted shipping executives, realizing that Port Newark draws its business from the very same terri- tory which has made the Port of New York the world’s busiest shipping center, are now closely studying its potential possibilities in relation to their business. You will find the complete facts about Port Newark well worth reading. They are presented in concise and interesting form in a free book prepared by the Department of Public affairs.
