NEW YORK IS THE CAPITAL FOR SHIPPING
The New York Maritime Cluster is home to over 250 shipping companies, who are continually reaping the benefits of the area’s extensive resources and infrastructure (banks, lawyers, insurance and arbitration).

New York Maritime Inc. (NYMAR) remains bullish on doing business in the New York Maritime region. Not only is there a full complement of ship owning companies and maritime services (financial, legal, insurance, broking, and more), but New York also boasts the third largest port in the United States—the largest trading nation in the world.
Since 1609, when Henry Hudson sailed the Half Moon into New York’s breathtaking natural harbor, the region has stood at the heart of global maritime commerce. From welcoming waves of immigrants to hosting iconic ocean liners and pioneering innovations like containerization, New York’s story is intricately tied to the evolution of the maritime world.
Today, the Port of New York ranks among the busiest, handling passenger vessels and massive volumes of containerized, break bulk, and bulk cargo. With a robust network of trucking companies, interstate highways, and intermodal rail systems, it serves as America’s gateway to the world—connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific and beyond.
