Newark NJ, on Tuesday, the Port Authority announced expectations of increased cargo traffic at the Port of New York and New Jersey due to ships rerouting away from Baltimore. The bi-state agency assured its capacity to manage additional cargo, noting a 20% increase in cargo volume in 2021 compared to current levels. However, it anticipates some vessels diverting to other East Coast ports further south, such as Norfolk, VA, or Savannah, GA.
