About APM Terminals

A.P. Moller - Maersk is an integrated container logistics company working to connect and simplify its customers supply chains. As the global leader in shipping services the company operates in 130 countries and employs roughly 100000 people.
As part of A.P. Moller-Maersk APM Terminals has been lifting standards for developing and operating advanced ports and container terminals for over half a century (as an independent division since January 2001). Now with 60 strategically located ports and container terminals around the globe and several more in development APM Terminals is lifting the standard of efficiency responsibility connectivity proactivity in our industry.
For more than a century A.P. Moller-Maersk has had close ties with the Port of New York and New Jersey. We made our first vessel call in New York in 1915 and opened our first international office in Manhattan shortly after. In 1928 we started Maersk Line and soon the piers in Brooklyn became home. By 1975 we had established our first dedicated container terminal at Pier 51 through our work with the Port of New York and New Jersey.
APM Terminals Elizabeth currently handles over 25% of the annual container throughput in the port complex supported by more than 1100 members of the International Longshoremens Association (ILA).

The Port Elizabeth Upgrade Project

APM Terminals and the Port of New York and New Jersey recently reached an agreement on the lease extension for APM Terminals Elizabeth though 2062. This extension paves the way for major infrastructure investments which will enhance capacity and transport velocity create jobs and strengthen the economy.
APM Terminals will invest significantly in Port Elizabeth over the coming years to enhance cargo-handling capacity at its 345-acre terminal. APM Terminals has also committed to the replacement and maintenance of all wharf and berth structures. This investment supports the Port Authoritys Port Master Plan 2050 which anticipates cargo volumes doubling or tripling by mid-century.
Looking to the future APM Terminals Elizabeth envisions a larger more efficient container terminal. Planned upgrades include the optimization of the terminal layout electrification of container handling equipment and future-proofing container berths.
