Newark, NJ
Philadelphia is home to one of the busiest and fastest-growing container ports on the East Coast. PhilaPort closed out 2025 with a record 889,268 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) moved through its terminals, a 6% increase over the prior year that outpaced national trade growth of roughly 3%. Container volume at the port has climbed 39% since 2020, a trend driven in large part by Philadelphia's specialization in temperature-controlled cargo. Refrigerated containers made up 64% of the port's containerized imports in 2025, cementing its role as a leading East Coast hub for perishable goods and cold-chain freight. Combined with Philadelphia's position along the I-95 corridor and its access to rail lines serving the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, the city functions as a reliable supply point for used 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft HC containers.

What We Love About Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia is a city built on history, from the signing of the Declaration of Independence to its role as the United States' first capital. Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell remain centerpieces of the city's historic district, drawing visitors from across the country to walk the same streets as the nation's founders.
Beyond its historical significance, Philadelphia has earned its place as a food city. The Italian Market is one of the oldest continuously operating outdoor markets in the country, and the debate over the city's best cheesesteak remains a point of local pride. Reading Terminal Market brings together dozens of vendors under one roof, offering everything from Pennsylvania Dutch baked goods to fresh seafood.
The city's sports culture is equally well known. Philadelphia is home to five professional teams and a fan base recognized as one of the most passionate in the country. Outside the stadiums, Fairmount Park offers one of the largest urban park systems in the United States, with miles of trails along the Schuylkill River.
As a hub for biotechnology, logistics, and higher education, Philadelphia continues to grow as both a regional economic center and a city defined by its history and culture.

## Used Shipping Containers for Construction and Agriculture in the Region
Philadelphia's port handles a wide mix of goods beyond refrigerated cargo, including industrial equipment, consumer goods, and materials tied to the region's active [construction](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/industries/shipping-containers-for-construction) industry. Contractors throughout the metro area rely on used containers as secure, weatherproof storage for tools and materials on active jobsites, a use case that has grown alongside the city's ongoing infrastructure and residential development.
Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey also support a sizable agricultural sector, particularly in the counties surrounding the metro area, where seasonal harvests of corn, soybeans, and produce drive periodic demand for storage and short-term transport. Eveon's [shipping containers for the farming and agriculture industry](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/industries/shipping-containers-for-the-farming--agriculture-industry) are a great option for equipment storage, feed protection, and seasonal overflow on working farms outside the city.
