Philly's port prepares for further growth: Bigger ships, expanded cargoes, new cranes, more jobs

At the Port of Philadelphia, two harbor cranes, as large as any in the world, will arrive in early March. The first ship taking used-car exports will leave Philadelphia for Africa next month, and the largest ship ever to sail up the Delaware River will dock here in January with cargoes from South America. Sounds like a busy 2018 will follow on the heels of a bang-up 2017.
