Service Alert – July 15th, 2018

South Brooklyn Route – Weekend Service Update  (July 15th)

Dear NYC Ferry Rider,

Please be advised that due to the Formula E event in Red Hook this weekend (Saturday, July 14 and Sunday, July 15) we anticipate large crowds and higher ridership than usual on the South Brooklyn route. Additionally, all NYC Ferry riders traveling to and from the Red Hook ferry landing must undergo the required event screening process or be escorted to/from the ferry landing regardless of event attendance. We strongly encourage passengers to budget their time accordingly and prepare for possible delays due to the security screening process.

Governors Island – Weekend Service Update (July 15th)

Due to maintenance work at Pier 102 on Governors Island (where NYC Ferry docks), all riders wishing to visit the Island will need to transfer to a ferry shuttle at Pier 11/ Wall Street that will take them directly to Yankee Pier on Governors Island. Riders on all routes will need to transfer to this ferry shuttle, which can be accessed at Slip D at Pier 11.

The ferry shuttle will not operate on a regular schedule and will pick up and drop off passengers on a continual basis. To board the ferry shuttle, all riders are required to show a valid NYCF app or paper ticket, or a transfer ticket.

We’re anticipating larger than normal crowds and suggest that you budget your time accordingly when making your way off the island. To depart the island using the NYC Ferry shuttle to Pier 11/Wall Street, riders must be in the departure line at Yankee Pier by 6:00 PM. After that time, riders will be directed to take either the Governors Island ferry service to Pier 6 in Brooklyn or to the Battery Maritime Building in Lower Manhattan.

Thank you,

NYC Ferry
