Red Hook aims to be NY-NJ port’s barge hub to city delivery

At the center of New York and New Jersey’s push to boost container-on-barge use, Red Hook Terminals is looking to position itself as the hub of a low-cost, efficient regional barge service that can replace trucked containers, especially in and out of the vast New York consumer market. The port’s smallest terminal — with cargo growth that outstripped the port as a whole last year but lags it slightly this year, according to Red Hook Terminals — believes barges can help alleviate the expected pressure on the port’s four main, New Jersey-based terminals and area highways, as port cargo volumes and area congestion increase.
