New Jersey's Maritime Industry
New Jersey is home to the Port of New York and New Jersey — the largest port on the U.S. East Coast and one of the busiest container ports in North America. With major terminals in Newark, Elizabeth, and Bayonne, the port handles millions of containers annually and employs thousands of maritime workers. New Jersey's coastline also supports a vibrant commercial fishing industry, ferry operations, and recreational boating along the Jersey Shore.
Maritime Expert Solutions provides online STCW training for New Jersey seafarers — whether you work on a container ship at Port Newark, a ferry crossing the Hudson, or a fishing vessel out of Belford or Point Pleasant. Complete your certification entirely online without leaving New Jersey.
