NY-NJ appointment system cuts truck turns without major hitch
JOC: "The system, at just one of out of six terminals at the largest port on the East Coast, is designed to improve drayage efficiency. Such efficiency at the port is critical as it prepares to meet the increased workload and additional systemic stress expected after the completion of a project at the end of this year to raise the Bayonne Bridge. The project will enable ships that can carry more than 10,000 twenty-foot-equivalent units to stop at all four of the port’s main terminals. Only one — Global Container Terminal — is at present accessible to big ships because they can’t get under the bridge."
