New York City's Newest Cruise Ship Terminal
 (New
York -WABC, September 24, 2005) - It's helping to transform what many considered to be a less-than-desirable
section of Brooklyn into a very desirable destination. With its billion dollar view of Manhattan, Atlantic
Basin in Red Hook is now home to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and 330 new jobs.
This New York cruise industry's exploding responsible for over $600 million in commerce to the city last year. Manhattan's West Side passenger ship terminal is booked solid stifling growth for the industry in New York. Spreading east to Brooklyn will increase the annual number of ship passengers entering the city by a quarter of a million people. Carnival Cruise lines became the first to use the new Brooklyn terminal with this morning's docking of 'The Oriana' that freshly arrived from England. Please visit ABC Inc., to find more news about New York Cruise. New York Cruise TerminalPiers 88, 90, 92 New York has begun an overhaul of the 70-year-old passenger ship terminal on the West Side of Manhattan, which with its forbidding, industrial-like exterior, relatively narrow berths and antiquated waiting rooms has long needed an update. In Manhattan, the biggest hurdle at the existing terminal, which sits along the Hudson River between West 47th and 53rd Streets, has long been a lack of space. Built in the early 1930's and last renovated in the early 1970's, the facility now has three finger piers - Piers 88, 90 and 92 - that are about 1,000 feet long and about 400 feet apart. A terminal building sits atop each. The piers provide a total of five berths, but they were designed when this New York cruise ships were often only about 80 feet in width. Modern ships now average about 136 feet, with some as wide as 142 feet. As a result, two modern vessels can no longer fit comfortably in the same slip between two of Manhattan's piers. The city wants to redesign the Manhattan cruise terminal to handle only three ships at a time, at Piers 88 and 90, but with more berth space for each ship. Pier 92 and its building will continue to be used through 2008, but over the next year the Economic Development Corporation will evaluate other uses for it.
