Cargo bottlenecks are easing at the Port of New York and New Jersey, the busiest container port on the U.S. East Coast, as Maher Terminals LLC scales back a new computer system blamed for snarling freight shipments.
Service at Maher’s facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey, has “returned to acceptable levels,” according to a statement from Maher and Navis LLC, the technology company responsible for the cargo-handling system. Some of the automated elements of the system now on hold will be added back later, the companies said.
