The Port expects the new terminal to help boost ferry ridership downtown

The new, $50 million west-side ferry terminal is now serving commuters on the Hudson River. Opened on Wednesday, March 18th, the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal, located outside just north of North Cove at the World Financial Center, will accommodate about 6,100 weekday passenger trips.

The Port Authority has been working for months to complete the floating terminal on site, replacing its smaller predecessor with a more permanent barge outfitted with five slips. BillyBey Ferry Company will operate the terminal, which is outfitted with a 22,000-square-foot passenger waiting area and improved amenities like a concession kiosk, restrooms, and more seating. The Port expects the new terminal to help boost ferry ridership downtown, especially with the new Goldman Sachs Headquarters slated to partially open this fall.
