The Port of New York and New Jersey is the port district of the New York-Newark metropolitan area,[1] encompassing the region within approximately a 25-mile (40 km) radius of the Statue of Liberty National Monument.

It includes the system of navigable waterways in the New York–New Jersey Harbor Estuary, which runs along over 770 miles (1,240 km) of shoreline in the vicinity of New York City and northeastern New Jersey,[2] and is considered one of the largest natural harbors in the world.

Having long been the busiest port on the East Coast[3] it became the busiest port by maritime cargo volume in the United States in 2022[4][5] and is a major economic engine for the region.[6][7]

The region's airports make the port the nation's top gateway for international flights and its busiest center for overall passenger and air freight flights. There are two foreign-trade zones (FTZ) within the port.
