After a lengthy legal dispute over rent, the US District Court in Philadelphia ruled on June 14, that the SS United States must vacate the berth at Pier 82 in Philadelphia, which she has occupied for decades, by September 12, 2024.
In her ruling, Senior Judge Anita Brody determined that the ship’s landlord, Penn Warehousing, could not double dockage fees without notice to force the ship from her pier. But the court order established a 90-day deadline to move the nearly 1,000-foot-long ship to a new home.
