U.S. Ports See Costly Delays as Cargo Ships,Volumes Grow

WSJ: "To tackle congestion issues in New York and New Jersey, a port authority task force recommended several measures, such as more flexible hours for gate operations and building more warehouse space to store imports away from docks. Port operators and others are now trying to implement those ideas. In the last decade, the port authority has spent $2.7 billion in upgrades at the port. Another $1.3 billion is being used to raise the Bayonne Bridge so that megaships can pass underneath."
