Last Friday, Augugst 6th, my group and I went on a trip to Port Richmond. After getting on the tour bus with no air conditioning I already had little faith that this trip would be fun. We were soon introduced to our tour guide Ryan who did a good job of informing us of how the entire operation works. Our first destination was to the Packer Ave Marine Terminal. We saw that vehicles from Japan were just unloaded and when we got to the Packer Ave port we saw that there was hundreds of huge containers. We were told that a variety of things get shipped in to this port like meats, pharmaceuticals, even animals and much more. While we were there we got to see the cranes load and unload cargo to and from a ship. After that we went and visited the Tioga Marine Terminal and saw that mainly fruit and vegetation comes to this port. There were also dozens of other ports and warehouses on the Delaware that served several different purposes of shipping like a paper mill and a cocoa bean warehouse.
