Brooklyn Marine Terminal is comprised of Piers 7-12:
Piers 7, 8, 9A & 9B are “finger piers” resembling those in Brooklyn Bridge Park. 9A & 9B are currently out of commission due to poor condition.
Pier 10 is home to the Red Hook Container Terminal, which supports maritime shipping in NYC.
Pier 11 is currently a vacant shed space, but it will be the future port for NYC Ferry.
Pier 12 is the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, where 4-5 cruise ships dock weekly.
Along with NYCEDC, WXY Studio, and other city agencies, the project is led by a task force headed by Congressman Daniel Goldman, Council Member Alexa Avilés, and State Senator Andrew Gounardes. After the public engagement process this fall and winter, including advisory group meetings and public workshops, the task force will vote to approve community recommendations and subsequently present a “vision document” for the Brooklyn Marine Terminal.
While maritime operations will remain at the core of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal, future possibilities for the site still remain open to the community’s feedback and input. The city’s goals include: building a clean and modern maritime port to grow industry and create jobs, creating a “Blue Highway” that uses NYC’s waterways to move goods and reduce truck emissions on roads, protecting against climate change, and building housing and waterfront parks.
Due to the scale and scope of the project, the NYCEDC is working in close coordination with other city agencies, including Department of Transportation with their redesign of the BQE north of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal.
