Observations on the Hudson River as it passes through New York City. The section of the Hudson which passes through New York is historically known as the North River, called this by the Dutch to distinguish it from the Delaware River, which they knew as the South River. This stretch of the Hudson is still often referred to as the North River by local mariners today. All photos copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.

Friday January 5–non-petroleum products

Tanker barge traffic slowed on Friday but other types of barges were observed, including mud scows, sugar barges, and cement transporters coming down with product. Skies cleared and winds and seas were calm but a gale warning is in effect from 5pm Saturday.

Dann’s Treasure Coast had a loaded cement transport barge coming down from the Lafarge plant in Ravenna, NY heading for the company’s Bayonne terminal.
Dann’s Margery left Yonkers with the Portsmouth dry bulk barge, presumably after offloading Florida sugar at the refinery there, and headed towards Port Newark initially before likely heading back south.
There is dredging underway up near the Yonkers plant, and DonJon’s Atlantic Enterprise had a mud scow on the wire, heading for the dump site off Sandy Hook.
The DEP sludge tanker Hunts Point came up the North River early Thursday heading for the sewage plant. Visible in the background was heavy smoke from a fire burning in an industrial complex in Elizabeth.
Fireboats from Newark and North Hudson FD responded along with a 29’ FDNY boat. FDNY’s mid-sized Feehan boat was later on the scene. Source: MarineTraffic
