PhilaPort capped off a milestone year in 2025, posting record container throughput and outperforming national and regional trade trends to remain a leader among U.S. East Coast container ports.<\/p>\n
PhilaPort handled a record 889,268 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2025, representing a 6% year-over-year increase in container volume. This result exceeded overall U.S. trade growth projections of approximately 3%, underscoring Philadelphia\u2019s continued strength in the container market. Since 2020, PhilaPort\u2019s container volumes have increased by 39%, reflecting sustained, long-term growth.<\/p>\n
Through November 2025, PhilaPort also outpaced other North Atlantic container ports, which collectively reported more modest growth, compared to PhilaPort\u2019s 7% increase over the same period.<\/p>\n
A key driver of this performance remains PhilaPort\u2019s specialization in temperature-controlled cargo. In 2025, 64% of PhilaPort\u2019s containerized imports were refrigerated, reinforcing the Port\u2019s role as a premier East Coast hub for perishable goods and cold-chain cargo.<\/p>\n
PhilaPort\u2019s container productivity was further underscored by its recognition as the most productive port in North America in the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence Container Port Performance Index, which evaluates ports based on vessel turnaround times and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n
With record container volumes and sustained growth, PhilaPort enters 2026 positioned to build on its momentum and remain a top-performing container port on the U.S. East Coast.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
