New York & New Jersey (USNYC)

The port of New York and New Jersey is the major port on the East Coast, handling a diverse range of cargoes, including cruise ships, containers, Ro-Ro, bulk, break bulk, heavy lifts and petroleum products. Marine terminals are located throughout the harbour, most prominently along the Brooklyn waterfront in New York City and along the shores of Newark Bay in New Jersey. The port is one of the leading container centres in North America, with a total of 6 separate container terminals. It is also leading automobile import/export centre and is home to numerous petroleum terminals. Many of the general cargo facilities are owned and/or managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The city of New York also owns several marine facilities. Cargo operations are privatised, private terminal operators lease marine terminals from the Port Authority and run the day to day cargo operations. Imports: Motor vehicles, worked monument stone, furniture, beer, glazed ceramic flags, wine, paper and paperboard, coffee, fruit juice, bananas, other fruits, ethyl alcohol, vegetables and seats. Exports: Waste paper, ferrous waste, sawn wood, antiknock preps, motor vehicles, paper and paperboard, film plates & sheets, plastic waste, animal feed preps, auto parts, rough wood, food preparations, polymers of propylene and worn clothing.

Summer Zone for ships over LOA 100m and Winter Seasonal Area for ships of LOA 100m or less, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

New York is situated on the E seaboard of the United States with the port located between Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey.

LOA 396m, beam 53.6m, draught 14.8m, 202,181DWT.

Approx 120,000,000t of cargo, 8,700,000TEU and 663,000 vessels handled annually.

An anchorage area is established S and W of No 2A Lightbuoy moored in the approach to Sandy Hook Channel. Vessels approaching New York Harbour in poor visibility and finding it necessary to anchor before entering Ambrose Channel should do so in this area, keeping W of the cable area and danger area. Danger area: A danger area, open to unrestricted surface navigation, but prohibited to vessels anchoring, dredging, trawling or any similar type of operation, because of residual danger from mines on the bottom, exists in the S and SE parts of the precautionary area, between 40°23'N and 40°29'N and 073° 40'W and 073°54'W. Anchorage is under the supervision of the Port Captain through the port VTS on VHF Ch12. The following table summarises the regulations governing the length, draught and maximum stay for the anchorages: ..... Anchorage Length (m) Draught (m) Time 21A - - 30 days 21B - 3.0 30 days 21C - 10.0 30 days 23A 204.2 -* 48 hours 23B 204.2 -* 48 hours 24 243.8 12.2* 48 hours 25 - - 30 days *Vessels drawing 12.2m or more may anchor if they anchor within 5 hours of the start of the ebb at the Verrazano Narrows. VTS NY carries out anchorage management responsibilities through VHF Ch 12. All reports and requests for deviations may be made on this frequency. After a vessel is anchored and all required information is passed to the VTC, the vessel will be required to maintain a continuous listening watch on VHF Ch 16 for the entire time it is anchored. The following are additional requirements for vessels using these anchorages: ..... a) No vessel may anchor unless it informs VTSNY when it anchors, of the vessels name, length, draught and its position in the anchorage. b) Each vessel anchored must inform VTSNY when it weighs anchor. c) VMRS users at anchor are required to make a 'Sailing Plan' Report at least 15mins before getting underway in the VTSNY Area. d) No vessel may conduct lightering operations unless it notifies VTSNY before hand. e) Each vessel lightering must inform VTSNY at the termination of lightering. f) No vessel may anchor unless it maintains a bridge watch, guards and answer VHF Ch 16 and maintains an accurate position plot. g) If any vessel is so close to another that a collision is probable, each vessel must communicate with the other vessel and the VTC on VHF CH 16 and must act to avoid that collision. h) No vessel may anchor unless it maintains the capability to get underway within 30mins except with prior approval of VTSNY. i) No vessel may anchor in a "dead ship" status (propulsion or control unavailable for normal operations) without prior approval of VTSNY. j) Each vessel in a "dead ship" status must engage an adequate number of tugs alongside during tide changes. A tug alongside may assume the VHF Ch 16 guard for the vessel after it notifies VTSNY. k) No vessel may lighter in a "dead ship" status without prior approval of VTSNY.

The main harbour is divided into Lower Bay and Upper Bay by The Verrazano Narrows, a passage approx 0.6nm wide. The entrance to Lower Bay is obstructed by an extensive bar, intersected by several channels, the principal of which is Ambrose Channel. From the inshore end of Ambrose Channel, project depth of 13.7m, the main channel leads through Lower Bay and The Narrows into Upper Bay and the mouth of the Hudson River. West side: From Anchorage channel the Global Marine terminal is entered through the Port Jersey channel, depth 12.49m. Two channels, Arthur Kill and Kill van Kull which separate Staten Island from the New Jersey mainland, lead N from the W part of Lower Bay and W from Upper Bay, respectively to Newark Bay. The Kill Van Kull channel and Newark Bay channel has a project depth of 13.7m, providing access for 5,000TEU container vessels to the Port Newark and Elizabeth Port Marine Terminals. Deepening of the Arthur Kill channel to 12.49m from Kill Van Kull channel to Howland Hook (New York Staten island Container GCT Terminal) continues, also a 1nm portion S of Howland Hook to 12.19m. East side: East River channel, a channel leading from Long Island Sound, enters the NE part of Upper Bay, leads to Brooklyn Marine Terminal and Red Hook container terminal. Bay Ridge channel off Anchorage channel leads to South Brooklyn Marine terminal. For the latest controlling depths of the terminal channels the Port Authority should be consulted.

Bayonne Bridge: the major project to raise the height of the bridge has been completed. The decked has been elevated by approx 20m, so that larger vessels can pass underneath. The maximum clearance height for ships is now 65.5m, depending on tide height. Vessels should check before transit. Submarine cables exist in the approaches and entrance to New York Harbour extending from Ambrose Lighthouse SW to the mainland and in the whole area extending from Ambrose Channel N to Long Island and then E, SE and S from that lighthouse. A submarine pipeline exists between the S side of Lower Bay and Long Beach, passing close N of Sandy Hook. HARBOR DEEPENING PROJECT to 15.24m. Although most of the project's contracts have been completed, to Port Jersey and Port Newark/Elizabeth, With the exception of two small areas within the southernmost crossing, the controlling depth across the Upper Bay utility crossings is 14.32m (47 feet) MLW. There are two small areas within the southern crossing that have a controlling depth of 14.0m (45.9 feet) MLW and 14.2m (46.6 feet) MLW respectively, both of which are just west of centre channel. Pilots are aware of these locations and, if necessary AND if conditions permit, the assigned pilot will manoeuvre around them. Extensive shoaling is located on the inside of the turn at Bergen Point imposing a significant navigational limitation at this critical turn. Buoys have been relocated to mark the shoal. Additionally there is sporadic shoaling within Newark Bay. Restrictive Guidelines for Port Jersey Channel: Arriving or Departing from Global Terminal, times for these jobs will be set up by pilots through applicable tug dispatch office. UP TO 12.5m (41 ft): Arriving anytime Departing anytime. 12.5m - 13.4m (41-44 ft): Arriving between 1 to 2 hours AFTER Low or High Water Battery.
