| 摘要： | The potential for freight ferries in New York-New Jersey harbor is examined. Freight ferries are defined as fast ferries transporting high-value, time-sensitive cargo, particularly air cargo, but also courier packages and even premium passengers. The proposal by a private entity for freight ferries is consistent with the trends toward increased use of fast ferries nationally, and the incipient use of these ferries at several worldwide locations. In the greater New York-New Jersey metropolitan area, freight ferries offer several opportunities. These ferries help to remedy the ongoing problem of congestion in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area, particularly on roads and at crossings associated with air cargo surface delivery. Air cargo brings high economic value to the region, but the congestion problem must be resolved to maintain that contribution. Freight ferries create synergies with other freight and passenger delivery services. These ferries can also spur redevelopment of waterfront communities, particularly those waterfront locations isolated from the rest of the metropolitan area. However, implementing freight ferries has its obstacles. The major hurdle is finding appropriate landing sites, which is difficult because of competing uses, failure to plan for landing sites, and labor considerations. Safety and air quality issues also need to be addressed. Elements of a bold plan to make freight ferries happen in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan region are suggested. |
