Sweeney, Burzichelli Laud Repauno Port and Rail Terminal Launch

New facility continues expansion of South Jersey port capacity

West Deptford – Senate President Steve Sweeney and Deputy Assembly Speaker John Burzichelli today lauded the opening of the Repauno Port and Rail Terminal in Greenwich Township. The site is one of the most active maritime markets in the northeastern United States and has been redeveloped into a multi-use port facility.

“The Repauno Port and Rail Terminal offers tremendous opportunity because it is located in the center of one of the most active maritime markets in the United States,” said Senator Sweeney. “Over 40 percent of the United States population can be reached from this location in less than a single day. The improvements that were made will ensure that the site is more accessible and fully capable of meeting market demand. I hope to see other sites emulate Repauno’s success as we continue to build South Jersey’s port capacity.”

“Repauno’s will bring jobs and economic growth to Greenwich Township and Gloucester County, as we continue to build our maritime economy along the Delaware,” said Assemblyman Burzichelli. “The deep draft dock and the easy access to major highways will make this project a rousing success.”

The Repauno Port and Rail Terminal sits directly on the Delaware River with easy truck access to I-295 and I-95. The newly constructed facility now features a multi-purpose dock with a 40-foot draft, a state-of-the-art trans-loading operation, a hard rock cavern for storing bulk liquid/gases, and available acreage with build-to-suit logistical sites available for development.
