http://www.philaport.com/ PhilaPort (formerly Philadelphia Regional Port Authority), an independent agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has as its primary mission the enhancement of water-borne trade and commerce. PhilaPort was created by an act of the Pennsylvania legislature in 1989.
As an organization committed to economic development and job creation, PhilaPort seeks to generate activity that will maximize port-related employment and revenues by promoting the use of the Philadelphia regional port system by Pennsylvania based industries.
It is also committed to working in a cooperative spirit with other Delaware River port and City agencies to realize the potential of the regional port system. Port cargoes and the activity they generate are responsible for thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the Philadelphia area and throughout Pennsylvania.
