Maritime Operators, Electric Barge Service Between Brooklyn Marine Terminal and Hunts Point Marine Terminal

Description

New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) invites expressions of interest from maritime operators, vessel designers, logistics firms, and technology partners for the development of an all-electric and/or zero-emissions (ZE) container-on-barge and associated tug service between the Brooklyn Marine Terminal (BMT) and the future Hunts Point Marine Terminal (HPMT), as well as the potential for future expansion to other strategic locations in New York Harbor and along the East Coast. This service represents a strategic investment in improving food resiliency, strengthening redundancy in the regional supply chain, and reducing dependence on truck-dominated corridors. This service is also being designed to catalyze investment into zero emissions maritime technology in NY Harbor. The BMT-HPMT electric/ZE barge service is intended to provide a reliable, zero-emission marine corridor
