Shipping terminals at the Port of New York and New Jersey are set to re-open after a two-day shutdown caused by Winter Storm Juno, leaving truckers facing congestion and extended waiting times due to a backlog of containers waiting to be picked up or dropped off.
“All Marine Terminals in the Port of New York and New Jersey will be opening on Wednesday, 28 January at 8am., with the exception of (Global Container Terminal) Bayonne, which will open at 6am.,” stated an advisory issued by the Port Authority, referring to collective name for terminals in Newark, Elizabeth, Jersey City, Bayonne, Staten Island and Brooklyn.
