On June 9, at the request of the local commercial shipping industry, the U.S. Coast Guard published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to establish several new Hudson River anchorage locations between Yonkers and Kingston.1 In recent years, shipping traffic on the Hudson has expanded, most notably from crude oil shipments from North Dakota arriving by rail to the Port of Albany that are then transferred to barges and ships for delivery along the east coast.
The shipping industry asserts that new anchorages are needed for safety, supply chain management, and environmental protection, while environmental groups and municipalities that oppose the proposal dispute the industry’s assertions and have requested a full environmental review.
