NYC Ferry Service Suspended Due To Heavy Ice Conditions

NEW YORK CITY — Due to the freezing temperatures and thick ice in city waterways, all New York City ferry service have been suspended on Tuesday.

NYC Ferry suspended all service starting at 2 p.m. due to ice conditions in the East River and the Hudson River.

“Operating in heavy ice conditions requires slow speeds and little to no notice regarding landing service suspension,” NYC Ferry wrote on in a social media post. “NYC Ferry crew will continue to monitor evolving waterway conditions and prepare the fleet to ensure service can resume once conditions improve.”

According to NYC Ferry, heavy ice prevented boats from docking and some to skip stops at Brooklyn Navy Yard and Atlantic Avenue/Pier 6-Brooklyn Bridge Park. Some boats on East River routes were canceled Tuesday morning.

The agency has not disclosed when service will resume but said it depends on future weather conditions.

According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in the city will remain below freezing for at least the next six days.
