Brooklyn Marine Terminal to Become a $3.5B All-Electric Port

30.09.2025

The Brooklyn Marine Terminal (BMT) redevelopment plan has been approved, setting the stage for a $3.5 billion transformation of Red Hook into a state-of-the-art, all-electric maritime hub.

Backed by $418 million in federal, state, and city funding, the 60-acre site will be modernized after years of decline. The project will add a new marginal wharf for “water-to-water” cargo transfers, aiming to cut truck traffic across New York City and boost sustainable logistics.

A newly established Brooklyn Marine Terminal Development Corporation will oversee the project. Initial upgrades are already underway, including $18 million allocated for crane removal, pier repairs, and new port equipment.

City officials emphasize that the revamped terminal will be a cornerstone of New York’s logistics network and a model for “green ports” in the U.S., supporting the city’s broader emissions-reduction strategy while strengthening its supply chain resilience.
