Uni- versal^ .terminal is part of the 3,822 feet of berthing space and 110 acres of land, construction of which was begun by the Port Authority late in 1969 and which is scheduled for final completion late in 1972. Located on the northern bank of Elizabeth Channel in the heart of a network of intermodal transpor- tation links, the Universal facility is designed for swift and efficient handling of the wide range of car- goes and vessels now in use and due to come into service shortly.

The facility includes a terminal entry complex served by eight gates, each equipped with 60-ton truck scales. It also includes in- stallation of rail trackage to the distribution shed for direct strip- ping and stuffing of railroad freight as well as trackage to shipside berths for loading or discharge of Have Pumps?
