Maritime Operators, Electric Barge Service Between Brooklyn Marine Terminal and Hunts Point Marine Terminal RFEI
NYCEDC is seeking expressions of interest from maritime operators, vessel designers, logistics firms, and technology partners to develop an all-electric and/or zero-emissions container-on-barge and associated tug service between the Brooklyn Marine Terminal (BMT) and the future Hunts Point Marine Terminal (HPMT). The service must be capable of transporting at least 100 40-foot refrigerated containers (reefers) per sailing with continuous refrigeration capacity. The initiative aims to improve food resiliency, reduce highway congestion and emissions, and catalyze zero-emissions maritime technology, with HPMT expected to open in Q2 2030.
