Port Jersey, officially the Port Jersey Port Authority Marine Terminal and referred to as the Port Jersey Marine Terminal, is an intermodal freight transport facility that includes a container terminal located on the Upper New York Bay in the Port of New York and New Jersey. The municipal border of the Hudson County cities of Jersey City and Bayonne runs along the long pier extending into the bay.[1]
The facility was created between 1972 and 1976 and acquired by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in July 2010.[2][3] Its major tenant is GCT Bayonne, a post-panamax shipping facility operated by Global Container Terminals.[4][5]
Much of Port Jersey is part of United States Foreign-Trade Zone 49.[6] Most of the area in and around the facility is restricted, though a walkway along its northern side is accessible to the general public and may eventually connect with the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. A very small bird sanctuary (specifically for the least tern)[7] is also located on the promenade.
