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.

Just a little more sugar please

Dann Marine’s Ruby Coast had the dry bulk barge Knot Refined, the newest and largest of ASR’s fleet of sugar carriers, en route to Yonkers and loaded with Florida crystals. This could be the last or one of the last times we see this barge on the North River as the Yonkers refinery is slated to close by the end of this year.

Knot Refined will remain busy but the sugar will be heading for Baltimore where capacity has been increased to help cover the output of the Yonkers plant. Knot Refined, which got its handle in an employee naming contest, made its first voyage here in May 2022, as covered in North River Notes at the time.
