NY Waterway’s 14th Street ferry pier in Hoboken swiftly reopened on Tuesday after a temporary closure earlier in the morning. The pier, a crucial transit point for commuters, experienced a brief disruption due to a boarding barge issue, but was back in service by noon, according to the ferry company.
The temporary shutdown occurred on the same day NY Waterway was scheduled to enhance its ferry service from the Hoboken 14th Street Pier to Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan. This service enhancement coincided with the reopening of the PATH train station at the opposite end of Hoboken, making it a significant day for Hoboken commuters and transit users.
“Crews addressed an issue concerning a boarding barge at Hoboken 14th Street, working diligently to restore regular service,” a NY Waterway spokesperson stated early Tuesday morning. During the brief closure, NY Waterway arranged for bus service from the 14th Street pier to alternative ferry terminals along the Hudson River waterfront. These terminals provide convenient ferry connections to both Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, ensuring minimal disruption for passengers.

By midday, NY Waterway announced the successful repair and reopening of the Hoboken 14th Street boarding barge, confirming the resumption of normal ferry operations. Commuters and travelers could once again rely on the Hoboken 14th Street pier for their NY Waterway ferry services.
For the most up-to-date information and any potential service advisories, NY Waterway directs passengers to their official website. This quick resolution ensured that the Hoboken 14th Street pier remained a reliable part of the NY Waterway network, serving the transit needs of the Hoboken community and those commuting to and from Manhattan.
