    Overview

    The Port of Camden, located on the east bank of the Delaware River in southern New Jersey, is one of the most important deepwater ports in the Mid-Atlantic. As part of the larger Delaware River port complex, it shares the regional responsibility for moving bulk cargo, breakbulk, containers, and specialized commodities. The port services a diverse range of industries with particular strength in handling wood products, steel, cocoa, as well as perishable items like fruit. Its deep channel, now maintained at 45 feet, accommodates large vessels and offers efficient connectivity to rail and highway networks for inland transportation. Managed by the South Jersey Port Corporation, the Port of Camden provides over two million square feet of warehousing and storage, full-service marine terminal operations, and advanced cargo tracking technology. Its significance to regional trade is underscored by steady investment from the State of New Jersey and continuous growth in cargo volumes, making it a critical economic driver for southern New Jersey and the broader Delaware Valley.
