The problem, as you point out, is the traffic on the roads hauling all the extra freight from the ports to wherever it has to go.

I suspect that the Ports of New York and New Jersey are definitely better suited than other East Coast ports to handle one category of cargo I understand Baltimore now owns: Automobiles.
Those do require facilities many East Coast ports may lack, such as room to store the cars before they make their way to their final destinations.
