The facility is owned by the City of New York and has been leased by the Port Authority Of New York And New Jersey since 1985 . The Port Authority currently contracts with New York Container Terminal Inc. to operate a container terminal on the site. The original facility is 187 acres (757,000 m²) in size, but it is undergoing expansion with the acquisition in 2001 of the adjacent 124 acre (502,000 m²) Port Ivory , a former shipping port operated by Procter & Gamble . The renovation project has also proven to be controversial, as it has led to the terminal becoming the focus of a federal investigation into alleged Mafia influence over the port. The port has a ship berth that is 3,000 m (914) long on the Arthur Kill. The berth is 42 ft (13 m) deep for a 2300 ft (701 m), and 37 ft (11 m) deep for the remaining 700 ft (210 m) of berth. It handles 412,000 square feet (38,000 m²) containers and includes deep-freeze, Refrigeration and United States Customs Service inspection. It has an on-site Intermodal rail connection for shipping across the Arthur Kill to New Jersey and the national rail network. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
