Most often, however, the term applies to the publicly-owned marine terminals located within Philadelphia city limits along the Philadelphia side of the Delaware River. These terminals are managed by the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority, PhilaPort,[1] an agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. PhilaPort (The Philadelphia Regional Port Authority)The Philadelphia Regional Port Authority, commonly known as PhilaPort, and referred to as The Port of Philadelphia, is an independent agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania charged with the management, maintenance, marketing, and promotion of port facilities along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, as well as strategic planning throughout the port district. PhilaPort works with its terminal operators to improve its facilities and to market those facilities to prospective port users around the world. Port cargoes and the activities they generate are responsible for thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the Philadelphia area and throughout Pennsylvania. TerminalsThe Port consists of a series of marine terminals, each with specialized capabilities. The Packer Avenue Marine Terminal, the Port’s busiest facility, handles containers, steel, frozen meat, fruit, and automobiles. Tioga Marine Terminal handles regular shipments of pulp cargoes from Brazil and a variety of breakbulk cargoes, including steel. Pier 84 is dedicated exclusively to cocoa beans and cocoa products. Piers 38, 40, 74, 78, and 80 (along with their associated on-dock warehouses comprise the Philadelphia Forest Products Center, which handles newsprint, wood pulp, lumber, coated paper, and other forest products. The Port’s Automobile-Handling Facility in South Philadelphia processes and ships to US car dealerships Hyundai and Kia automobiles that arrive weekly by the thousands at the adjacent Packer Avenue Marine Terminal. The Philadelphia Cruise Terminal was located at 5100 South Broad Street within the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The Delaware River Port Authority began operating the terminal in 1998 in Building 3, a landmarked 1874 Navy Yard building.[2] Following the September 11 attacks the Philadelphia terminal accommodated some of the ships that had been diverted from New York. Its peak year was 2006 when it handled 36 cruises. By 2011 the schedule had dwindled to just two cruises. The DRPA decided to close the terminal rather than invest additional operating costs or capital improvements. Its demise was attributed to a combination of the economic downturn, increasing size of cruise ships, and six hours needed to navigate the Delaware River before entering open ocean.[3] Recent Developments
HistoryThe Port of Philadelphia was established more than 300 years ago during the colonial period, and was for a time the busiest port in both that period and the earliest years of the new republic, finally being eclipsed by the Port of New York. In much of the 20th Century, the Port was overseen by the city’s Department of Wharves, Docks, and Ferries, which was replaced by the quasi-public Philadelphia Port Corporation in 1964. In 1989, following the lead of other municipal ports that made overtures to their respective state governments for capital and operating support, the Port of Philadelphia moved from city to state control, with a new agency, the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority, established by the State Legislature’s Act 50 of 1989 to run the Port. The Port of Philadelphia has always been a landlord port, with private companies being given leases to run the Port’s facilities, with capital and marketing support provided by the Commonwealth and PRPA.[7] PhilaPort (The Port of Philadelphia)On May 22, 2017, The Philadelphia Regional Port Authority (PRPA) announced that it was rebranding as PhilaPort (The Port of Philadelphia) effective immediately. The name ‘PhilaPort’ was decided on to distinguish The Port of Philadelphia from the many other regional authorities.[8] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.philaport.com/|title=Home|newspaper=Philadelphia Regional Port Authority|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-30}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.philadelphiacruiseguide.com/philadelphia_cruise_terminal.html|title=Philadelphia Cruise Terminal |publisher=Philadelphiacruiseguide.com |access-date=March 29, 2019}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/delaware-river-board-closes-philadelphia-cruise-terminal.html |title=Delaware River Board Closes Philadelphia Cruise Terminal (January 5, 2011) |publisher=TravelPulse.com |access-date=March 29, 2019}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.philaport.com/about/main-channel-deepening/|title=Main Channel Deepening|newspaper=Philadelphia Regional Port Authority|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-30}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.philaport.com/port-development/|title=Port Development Plan|newspaper=Philadelphia Regional Port Authority|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-30}} 6. ^http://www.philly.com/philly/news/pennsylvania/philadelphia/philaport-china-philadelphia-holt-prpa-crane-20180324.html 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.philaport.com/about/history-of-prpa/|title=History of PRPA|newspaper=Philadelphia Regional Port Authority|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-30}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.philaport.com/prpa-rebrands-to-philaport/|title=It’s a Brand New Day at PhilaPort » PRPA Rebrands|work=PhilaPort|access-date=2017-05-31|language=en-US}} External links
