As the largest and busiest port on the US East Coast and the third-largest in the nation, this maritime hub plays a pivotal role in connecting businesses to one of the world's most concentrated consumer markets. Today, we'll dive deep into what makes this port a cornerstone of international shipping and how FreightAmigo's Digital Logistics Platform can help you navigate its complexities with ease.
