Domestic ocean carrier Horizon Lines is moving its Northeast terminal from the Port of New York/New Jersey in Elizabeth, N.J., to Philadelphia to better serve customers and reduce costs on its Puerto Rico service, the company said.
The first ship from San Juan is scheduled to depart April 7 and arrive at the Port of Philadelphia on April 11. A southbound vessel will depart Philadelphia the same day.
The weekly service will call at the Packer Ave. Terminal on the Delaware River, said Joe Menta, a spokesman for the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority. The Packer Terminal is operated by Greenwich Terminals LLC, the local stevedore for Holt Logistics Corp.
In Port Elizabeth, part of the Port of New York and New Jersey, Horizon vessels are handled by APM Terminals.
Service schedules between Jacksonville, Fla., Houston, and San Juan remain unchanged.
