About NY/NJ port congestion

NY/NJ is a port complex. This hub page shows the import-friction read for the complex and the live metrics behind it: the ship queue where one is published, the truck planning-time index, and loaded-import TEU. Each is compared to its own trailing-12-month normal. The friction read is a fixed, rules-based label, described in full on the methodology page, and it describes the current numbers rather than predicting the next move.
