CONTAINERIZED cargo shipped through the Port of New York is expected to more than triple its current volume by the mid-1970s, with major impact on the shipping, haulage, and rail industries.
In an address to the transportation committee of The Aluminium Association. Maurice de Picciotto, supervisor of marine terminals planning for the Port of New York Authority, said that some 4.5m tons of containerized cargo were handled in the port last year. "We expect more than 15m tons to move through the port in containers by 1975," he said.
Current construction activities are expanding the Port Authority's Port Newark and Elizabeth marine terminals in New Jersey, and, M. de Picciotto said, "at the completion of this development, it is expected that a stable work force of 12,000 earning over $80m a year will be employed at these two facilities, known already as America's 'Container Capital"."
For the road haulage industry, this means that at least fim vehicles will be needed to move cargo through the combined New York
nd New Jersey terminals annually by 1975. These 400 vehicles per hour moving into the Port will be supplemented by 50,000 rail waggons a year, and—M. de Picciotto emphasized-this latter figure does not include any piggyback operations which can be predicted for the near future-.
