Sea Wolf Marine tugs Sea Fox and Sea Lion brought a construction barge down the North River on Sunday from the work site at the location of the old Hess tanks in Edgewater, NJ. The green tanks were a landmark on that stretch of the river for decades but have been gone for over 10 years now.

The site, one of the last remaining brownfield lots along the Gold Coast, needed extensive remediation but is now being redeveloped as luxury housing with park land along the water. The development is also slated to include a ferry landing built on the footings of the oil product terminal’s old loading pier, though it is not clear (to me) whether this will supplement or replace the existing Edgewater ferry terminal a bit further south by the Edgewater Marina.
