The terminal will be developed as a major shipping hub and will reactivate 64.5 acres of space on a long-term lease through 2054.

The restoration is also expected to see the movement of over 900,000t of material annually through the port and offload over 11,000 truck trips a year.

The terminal will be specially used for waste paper recycling and export, as well as to import lumber, salt, aggregate material, container-on barge-operations, and project cargo.

“The restoration is also expected to see the movement of over 900,000t of material annually through the port and offload over 11,000 truck trips a year.”

Once developed, Red Hook Container Terminal will operate and serve as a stevedore for SSBMT, which will represent the first step in the phased development of building a major deepwater container port cantered at the terminal.

Red Hook Container Terminal is expected to set up an on-site workforce development centre at the terminal to connect local talent to quality maritime jobs.

NYCEDC president and CEO James Patchett said: “New York City’s working waterfront has long been a source of economic vitality, fuelling industries and good-paying careers for over a century.

“Sustainable South Brooklyn Marine Terminal will build on that legacy to advance the future of the New York Harbor.”

The reactivation work will be based on a plan submitted by Sunset Park Task Force, which includes elected officials and community stakeholders and was appointed by NYCEDC to develop a vision for the facility.
