NYC Ferry Service May Be Suspended for Days Due to Ice in Rivers
Service halted due to heavy ice buildup in New York Harbor, affecting all NYC Ferry routes with no set date for resumption, officials said.
- On Tuesday, NYC Ferry suspended all routes because of icy conditions, with the shutdown taking effect at 2 p.m. across the system in New York Harbor.
- Aerial footage showed floating ice covering the Hudson River after the winter storm, while ice in the Hudson River, East River and New York Harbor prevented boats from docking as Arctic air intensified Tuesday evening.
- NYC Ferry announced specific skipped landings including Battery Park City, Pier 79, Atlantic Ave/Pier 6–Brooklyn Bridge Park and Brooklyn Navy Yard, with some East River trips canceled and the St. George route's final boats departing at 1:19 p.m. Tuesday.
- Commuters faced cancellations and delays as Seastreak warned of 10-minute delays and NY Waterway suspended Edgewater service, while the Staten Island Ferry, Department of Transportation, continued normal operations.
- NYC Ferry warned the shutdown could last several days depending on waterway conditions; crews will monitor and prepare the fleet while updates appear on ferry.nyc and the NYC Ferry app amid six days of freezing temperatures and colder Thursday and Friday, National Weather Service forecasts show.
