ABSTRACT PORT OF CALL OR PORT OF CONFLICT: THE EVOLUTION OF THE PORT OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY, PORT-CITY RELATIONSHIPS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LAND USE CONFLICTS ON THE NEWARK BAY WATERFRONT by Colette Santasieri This dissertation, a case study of the Port of New York and New Jersey, covers three major research topics: 1) the evolution of the port spanning a period of over 200 years; 2) the relationship between the port (and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey) and five municipalities on Newark Bay; and 3) the potential for land use conflicts between the commercial port operations and redeveloping waterfronts for non-industrial uses. Research about the historical evolution of the Port of New York and New Jersey centers exclusively on the waterfronts and facilities on the Hudson and East Rivers and Upper New York Bay. Sources of information include books, news articles, journal articles, government reports, maps and photographs. The contemporary port-city relationship is studied with respect to the port and the Port Authority, and the municipalities of Elizabeth, Newark, Kearny, Jersey City and Bayonne. Sources of information include news articles, government reports and interviews with local elected officials and staff and representatives from advocacy groups, state agencies, and businesses. Potential for land use conflicts in the Newark Bay area between the commercial port operations and redeveloping waterfronts for non- industrial uses is explored using the same sources as topic 2, with the addition of journal articles and site observations. In this research, the Port-city Evolution Model by Hoyle is tested on the evolution of the Port of New York and New Jersey and is found to be too general and attends only to the relationship between one port and one city. The scale, scope and level of complexity of the Port of New York and New Jersey do not fit the model’s general framework. A new model, derived from this research, captures the evolution of the Port of New York and New Jersey, taking into account the complexity of this port, which has: multiple cargo handling terminals in multiple municipalities in two states; multiple and different port-city relationships that have several relational aspects; and multiple forces shaping the port’s evolution. Analysis of the relationship between the port (and the Port Authority) and five Newark Bay municipalities reveals dynamic, multifaceted associations characterized not only by spatial and functional aspects, but also by economic, political, and societal aspects. The final stage of Hoyle’s Port-city Evolution Model suggests that port- city associations are being renewed. One aspect of the contemporary port- city relationship is conflict between an operating port and redeveloping waterfronts. Research on the Newark Bay area reveals no observable or reported conflicts. However, the potential for conflict exists. Future conflicts could include daily friction from incompatible land uses and loss of waterfront property for commercial maritime use. These conflicts can be exacerbated by the multiplicity of stakeholders involved in waterfront development and port operations. The Port of New York and New Jersey Port-city Evolution Model, derived from this study, adds to the body of literature regarding not only how ports have grown and changed over time but also the causes and consequences of that growth and those changes. This dissertation extends Hoyle’s general and narrowly focused model. It is a comprehensive account of the evolution of the Port of New York and New Jersey that weaves together myriad political, economic, regulatory, commercial, global and societal events, issues and actions into a complex tale. The complexity of this tale mirrors the complexity of this port’s history and conditions in 2011.

  • New York Harbor Tide Wheel
    New York Harbor In most places in the world, tidal currents flood (come in) until high tide and then ebb (go out) until low tide. Not so in New York Tide Wheel Harbor. Depending on the location, the average tidal current lag-- the gap between high or low water and the beginning of the flood or ebb-- can be as much as two hours and 45 minutes. High Tide at the Battery Devised by boatbuilder Don Betts, the tide wheel is a simple means of gauging the tidal current lag on the waterways surround- ing Manhattan. To use it, find the time of high tide at the Battery r No for the date you’re interested in, then spin the inner ‘clock’ wheel ive rt until that time lines up with the arrow at the top of card. The outer R h n F rings tell you the direction of flow at any given time on any of o rth Floo lo s o d o Manhattan’s three ‘rivers.’ N iver Sout d R h F d The tide wheel is only an approximate guide. Unusual wind and u r m lo e le o weather can affect currents, sometimes profoundly, and slack r 12 1 d H v a 1 i H 1 tide times vary widely from one end of the harbor to the other. 2 R 0 Above all, you should remember that no tool or navigational aid is 1 a substitute for experience and good judgment. If you have never t 3 s paddled or rowed in New York Harbor, we strongly urge that 9 a 4 you join an established com- munity boathouse or boating E 8 b 5 b program, or hire a professional guide.

  • Global Terminal, in Bayonne, New Jersey, Has One Clear Advantage
    The New Yorker: PRINTABLES Page 1 of 14 WATCHING THE WATERFRONT by WILLIAM FINNEGAN Mobsters, terrorists, and the docks of New York Harbor. Issue of 2006-06-19 Posted 2006-06-12 Global Terminal, in Bayonne, New Jersey, has one clear advantage over most of its competitors for container-ship business in New York Harbor: it’s a straight shot from the Narrows, the harbor’s entrance. From Global’s wharf to Ambrose Seabuoy, out in the Atlantic, where arriving ships meet the pilots, the distance is only fourteen miles. Maurice Byan, the president of Global, told me that ships ca save four hours by docking at his pier, which looks across at lower Manhattan, rather than turning wes and going through the Kill Van Kull and up into Newark Bay, where the biggest container terminals ar in Port Newark and Elizabeth, or to Howland Hook, on the western shore of Staten Island. Also, ships that dock at Global don’t need to pass under the Bayonne Bridge, which is becoming a problem as container ships grow ever larger. Last year, a freighter had to remove its radio towers to make it. Global, at a hundred acres, is a relatively small terminal, but it’s busy. Byan took me on a tour of the pier in his pickup truck, navigating between walls of containers and dodging big, fast-moving equipment—forklifts, bladed stackers, top loaders, and huge rubber-tired gantries, six stories high. “Empty field!” Byan yelled, pointing at some tall piles of multicolored containers, each one eight feet wide by eight feet high and forty feet long, with “CHINA SHIPPING” and “HANJIN” and “P & O NEDLLOYD painted on the sides.

  • Epilogue 1941—Present by BARBARA LA ROCCO
    Epilogue 1941—Present By BARBARA LA ROCCO ABOUT A WEEK before A Maritime History of New York was re- leased the United States entered the Second World War. Between Pearl Harbor and VJ-Day, more than three million troops and over 63 million tons of supplies and materials shipped overseas through the Port. The Port of New York, really eleven ports in one, boasted a devel- oped shoreline of over 650 miles comprising the waterfronts of five boroughs of New York City and seven cities on the New Jersey side. The Port included 600 individual ship anchorages, some 1,800 docks, piers, and wharves of every conceivable size which gave access to over a thousand warehouses, and a complex system of car floats, lighters, rail and bridge networks. Over 575 tugboats worked the Port waters. Port operations employed some 25,000 longshoremen and an additional 400,000 other workers.* Ships of every conceivable type were needed for troop transport and supply carriers. On June 6, 1941, the U.S. Coast Guard seized 84 vessels of foreign registry in American ports under the Ship Requisition Act. To meet the demand for ships large numbers of mass-produced freight- ers and transports, called Liberty ships were constructed by a civilian workforce using pre-fabricated parts and the relatively new technique of welding. The Liberty ship, adapted by New York naval architects Gibbs & Cox from an old British tramp ship, was the largest civilian- 262 EPILOGUE 1941 - PRESENT 263 made war ship. The assembly-line production methods were later used to build 400 Victory ships (VC2)—the Liberty ship’s successor.
