Tenants of the South Jersey Port Corporation make the Ports of Camden and Salem vital and vibrant centers of diverse commerce, manufacturing, trade and transport. They include:

Del Monte Fresh Fruit, the largest Port tenant and employer annually ships more than 30 million cases of fresh produce, receiving an average of between two and three ships every week at the Port of Camden. The Port works with Del Monte to assure the company has the facilities it needs including a $5 million investment for a ship berth and temperature-controlled 60,000-square-foot warehouse and the recent addition of an 80,000-square-foot warehouse. This is Del Monte's largest and busiest port in the world.

St. Lawrence Cement imports over 300,000 tons of furnace slag each year through the Beckett Street Terminal for use in the $60 million bulk cement aggregate processing and distribution plant it completed in 2000 at the Broadway Terminal. St. Lawrence's imports alone account for $1.4 million in Port revenue, while land rental by the company adds still more revenue to the Port's accounts.

Camden International Commodities Terminal (C.I.C.T.) has worked with the Port Corporation since 1993 to develop a major cocoa bean importation and distribution operation. The C.I.C.T. employs Camden residents and besides the property it leases from the Port has invested in other property in the city to support operations. In 2001, more than 40,000 tons of cocoa beans were handled at the Beckett Street Terminal.

Camden Yards Steel, the Port Corporation's newest tenant, started operations on January 3, 2002 in 53,000 square feet of space leased from the Port. The company imports foreign steel and buys domestic steel that it processes to make carbon steel sheets, plates and coils for sale and distribution to manufacturers and other smaller service centers that produce lighting fixtures, truck and trailer parts, cabinets and furniture, and tools and dies.

Camden Iron & Metal is a 75-year-old full service scrap metal recycler operating in the Northeast and based at the Port of Camden that purchases, processes and sells all metals.

Divers Academy International, perhaps the most unique tenant of the South Jersey Port Corporation, is a world-renowned leading underwater welding school whose five-month program helps professional divers fulfill the welding standards for Commercial Divers Certification. Its location at the Port of Camden enables it to provide open water, hands-on diver welding education and training.
