New York
- The Port Authority's maritime facilities will remain closed until further notice. The port terminals that are closed are Port Newark Container Terminal, Port Elizabeth Marine Terminal, Port Jersey Marine Terminal, Howland Hook (New York Container Terminal) on Staten Island and the Brooklyn-Port Authority Marine Terminal. Rail ramp operations are suspended until further notice.

Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and click on the “Ports” tab.
Norfolk
- All state-owned marine terminals will be open for business Tuesday, Oct. 30, at 8 a.m. (two hour delay). Though there will be no vessel operations until the port assessment has been completed by the U.S. Coast Guard and the sea lanes reopened, the truck gates, transfer zones and on-dock rail will be operating.
- Motor carriers will be able to interchange empty containers, but will have to do so at the main terminals because the empty yards are still in storm preparedness mode. We anticipate the opening of the Norfolk and Portsmouth empty yards later Tuesday morning.
