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.

Passing through and sticking around

Tank barges were moving on the North River Thursday as temperatures climbed. Vane’s 4,200 HP Choptank left anchorage off Riverdale in the morning with the 54,000 barrel capacity Double Skin 54 and headed for Bayonne’s IMTT, passing the DEP sludge tanker Red Hook on two whistles on the way.

A bit later, Poling & Cutler’s 3,000 HP Kimberly Poling came up from the harbor to anchor off North Bergen with the unloaded 30,000 barrel Noelle Cutler, passing the Army Corp’s driftwood collection vessel Gelberman on one.

The Janice Ann Reinauer/RTC 103 ATB (4,400 HP tug/107,000 barrel barge) was through traffic, with the barge loaded up with a New York Harbor cargo and headed for Newburgh. After partially discharging there, she was Albany-bound on Friday morning.
