"NYC Ferry service on all routes remained suspended for a second day on Wednesday due to floating ice in the East and Hudson Rivers, the NYC Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) reported. The service was canceled, in part, due to boats being unable to dock in certain landings throughout the city, the agency said. NYCEDC, which oversees the city ferry service, said in an advisory that service had to be canceled for safety reasons."
"The safety of all crew, passengers, and vessels is of the utmost importance, and NYC Ferry crew continues to monitor evolving waterway conditions and prepare the fleet to ensure service can resume once conditions improve, the message read. When NYC Ferry service will be restored remains unknown. Meanwhile, the NYC Department of Transportation said on Wednesday that the Staten Island Ferry is running on a regular schedule."
NYC Ferry service on all routes remained suspended for a second day because floating ice in the East and Hudson Rivers prevented safe docking at multiple landings. Service was canceled for safety while crew monitored evolving waterway conditions and prepared the fleet for resumption once conditions improve. The timing of restoration remains unknown. The Staten Island Ferry, operated by the Department of Transportation and separate from NYC Ferry, ran on a regular schedule. Some NYC Ferry routes were suspended after a major winter storm. Land travel largely resumed with some subway delays, while many bus stops and sidewalks remained uncleared.
