Proposed offshore wind port in Staten Island
Arthur Kill Terminal is a proposed purpose-built offshore wind port on the Arthur Kill on the west shore of Staten Island, New York . It is intended to be a wind turbine assembly and staging area for various offshore wind farms in the New York Bight .[ 1] It is planned to be located on 32 acres (13 ha) just south of the Outerbridge Crossing .[ 2] [ 3] The site, which would allow for the docking of heavy-lift ships , is not hindered by air draft restrictions since there is no bridge downstream of the facility.[ 4] [ 3]
Site of Arthur Kill Terminal is at foot of the south side Outerbridge Crossing Funding and development [ edit ] The Arthur Kill Terminal is being developed by a partnership with Empire State Development Corporation (ESD). In October 2022 the project received a $48 million grant from the United States Maritime Administration (part of the US Department of Transportation) for dredging the kill adjacent to the upland site.[ 5] At that time, construction was expected to begin in late 2023 and projected to begin operating in late 2025.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8]
