containerport

The Red Hook Marine Terminal, a containerport, is the only currently active waterfront shipping operation.

One example of what a concerted effort can produce was demonstrated over the past year as Brooklyn's only major shipping terminal, the Red Hook Containerport, experienced an almost 100 percent increase in volume of cargo passing through the facility.

However, except for the Red Hook Containerport, the state, the city and the Port Authority have done little, if anything, over the past 15 years to maintain, develop or expand the infrastructure and the facilities necessary to restore maritime commerce and trade to Brooklyn.
