		Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal is the name for the port facility in Newark Bay that serves as the principal container ship facility for goods entering and leaving the metropolitan region of New York City and the northeastern quadrant of North America.
		Planned and built during the 1950s by the Port Authority, it is the largest container port in the eastern United States and the third largest in the country.
		Container goods typically arrive on container ships through the Narrows and the Kill Van Kull before entering Newark Bay, a shallow body of water which is dredged to accommodate the larger ships (some ships enter Newark Bay via the Arthur Kill).

		While such data rarely corresponds with port traffic, it is useful to develop the characteristics of imports and exports (such as the overall degree of containerizablity) since the ports as a rule do not keep track of container cargo by commodity.
		All port traffic data is collected in the first instance by the ports and the port corporations.
		Container traffic sources are usually too diversified for an aggregation of output of individual industries to be meaningful.

	Teamsters organizing container-port drivers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Past attempts by unions to organize drivers in Los Angeles-Long Beach, the nation’s largest container port, have foundered because owner-operators are considered independent contractors, and not direct employees of the trucking companies they drive for.

Hoffa appointed him to head the union’s ports division indicates the Teamsters union is committed at the highest level to organizing harbor truck drivers.
