Ship Philly First

SHIP PHILLY FIRST is our marketing mantra to the global community of exporters, steamship line operators, distribution center operators and logistics providers. Ship your cargo to Philly for its strategic location on the East Coast and its high-speed, high-touch service. Geography and expertise make Philadelphia number one in perishable fruit, meat and cocoa beans and a leader in cars, steel, paper, sugar and dairy products.

Locally, SHIP PHILLY FIRST is a nonprofit, business organization that promotes the world-class ports of Philadelphia with private funds. Our members are a mix of family-owned, multi-generational businesses and private corporations. They are often competitors. But when it comes to making the port bigger and better and more responsive to customers, they are of one voice. Become a member and add your voice.
