    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Rubenstein (Wiley Norvell 646-422-9614, [email protected]) NY WATERWAY TO LAUNCH NEW WEEKEND FERRY SERVICE TO IKEA IN BROOKLYN Beginning Saturday, July 3, NY Waterway is launching a free new ferry service to IKEA in Red Hook, Brooklyn for IKEA customers from Pier 79/Midtown Ferry Terminal, Brookfield Place/Battery Park City and Pier 11/Wall Street. New Jersey passengers can connect to the new service from cross-Hudson ferries by transferring at any Manhattan terminal. The service will run on weekends and extend all summer long. “We hope to make the trip to IKEA a little bit easier and a lot more pleasant with a free ferry ride from our Manhattan terminals. We’re excited to partner with IKEA to launch this new service for the summer,” said Armand Pohan, President, CEO and Chairman of NY Waterway. “We are excited to reintroduce our ferry service to our customers after a year off,” said Mike Baker, New York Market Manager for IKEA. “At IKEA we believe that sustainability, accessibility and affordability should be included in every aspect of our customers’ journey.” NY Waterway is a safe way to travel, offering open-air top decks and continuous sanitizing of all terminals, ferries and shuttles. Face coverings are required inside terminals and inside all ferry cabins and shuttles, and social distancing is encouraged.

  • Ny Waterway Commuter Ferry/Bus Network
    From: NY Waterway 4800 Avenue at Port Imperial Weehawken, NJ 07086 Rubenstein Contact: Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NY WATERWAY COMMUTER FERRY/BUS NETWORK NY Waterway operates the largest privately-owned commuter ferry service in the U.S., carrying more than 32,000 passenger trips per day – 10 million trips per year – on 34 boats serving 23 routes between New Jersey and Manhattan, and between Rockland and Westchester counties, and between Orange and Dutchess counties. Thousands of NY Waterway ferry commuters save an hour or more per trip, the equivalent of a one-month vacation every year. Ferries provide comfortable seating in climate-controlled cabins, but many passengers elect to ride outdoors, experiencing the exhilaration of the trip and the breath-taking views. Passengers’ biggest complaint is that the ride is too short. A fleet of 70 NY Waterway buses provide a free, seamless commute between ferry terminals in New York and New Jersey and inland locations. “Our commuter ferries provide safe, convenient and efficient commuter services, reducing traffic and pollution in the Metropolitan area,” says NY Waterway President & Founder Arthur E. Imperatore, who started the business in 1986. Operating out of beautiful ferry terminals on both sides of the Hudson River, NY Waterway provides an unrivaled commuting experience. Commuter routes include: Port Imperial in Weehawken NJ, to West 39th Street in Manhattan, all day, seven days a week. Port Imperial to Brookfield Place / Battery Park City Ferry Terminal, morning/evening rush hours, weekdays; all day weekends. Port Imperial to Pier 11 at Wall Street, morning/evening rush hours, weekdays.

  • Portnyc Developing the City's Freight and Passenger Infrastructure To
    New York Harbor is the third-largest port in the United States and the largest port complex on the Atlantic Coast. New York City Economic Development Corporation’s PortNYC develops the City’s freight and passenger transportation infrastructure to strengthen the region’s economic growth. PortNYC facilities include marine cargo terminals, rail facilities, cruise terminals, ferry landings, active maritime piers, vessel berthing opportunities, and aviation facilities within New York City’s five boroughs. Marine Cargo Terminals New York City’s ports are America’s gateway to the largest and wealthiest consumer market in the United States. PortNYC supports the local economy by enabling firms to bring goods to market by vessel, one of the most efficient modes of freight transportation. Approximately 400,000 containers move through New York City’s seaports annually, and recent infrastructure upgrades to the city’s marine cargo terminals will allow more than a million tons of cargo to arrive by water instead of truck. The City promotes and incentivizes the maritime industry by maintaining and leasing these facilities and designating them Significant Maritime and Industrial Areas. CARGO FACILITIES • Global Container Terminal—New York (containers, break-bulk, and ro-ro), Staten Island • Red Hook Container Terminal (containers, break-bulk, and ro-ro), Brooklyn • South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (break-bulk, ro-ro, and project cargoes), Brooklyn Global Container Terminal on Staten Island is • 25th Street Freight Pier (aggregate), Brooklyn the city’s largest deep-sea marine facility. New York City is a maritime hub for support services hosting tugs, barges, and major ship repair facilities. NYC recently invested $115 million to reactivate marine and rail cargo facilities on the South Brooklyn waterfront.

We detailed this commitment in our OneNYC report. Since that time, the nations of the world have come together to agree on a ground- breaking Paris Agreement, and just this month the world’s two biggest emitters, the US and China, committed to joining that agreement, putting it on a path toward ratification. Locally, we have continued to drive down our emissions, but we have much more to do.
