Arthur Kill Terminal
{{Short description|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.{{Cite web|date=July 18, 2021|url=https://maritime-executive.com/article/new-staten-island-offshore-wind-terminal-gathers-momentum|title=Proposed Staten Island Offshore Wind Terminal Gathers Momentum|website=The Maritime Executive}} It is planned to be located on {{convert|32|acre|ha}} just south of the Outerbridge Crossing.{{Cite web|url=https://www.silive.com/news/2023/02/president-joe-biden-shouts-out-staten-islands-arthur-kill-terminal-during-nyc-visit.html|title=President Joe Biden shouts out Staten Island's Arthur Kill Terminal during NYC visit|first=Joseph|last=Ostapiuk|date=February 1, 2023|website=Staten Island Advance}}{{Cite web|url=https://gothamist.com/news/giant-wind-turbine-ports-prepare-to-transform-nycs-coastal-woodlands|title=Giant wind turbine ports prepare to transform NYC's coastal woodlands|date=June 6, 2022|last=Kensinger|first=Nathan|website=Gothamist}} 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.{{cite web |url=https://www.sunymaritime.edu/sites/default/files/2019-10/13%20Atlantic%20Offshore%20Terminals%20Boone%20Davis%20SUNY%20Maritime%20190926.pdf |title=Arthur Kill Terminal |date=September 26, 2019 |publisher=Atlantic Offshore Terminals LLC}}
Funding and development
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.{{cite web | last=Fine | first=Ariana | url=https://nawindpower.com/dot-funds-four-offshore-wind-port-projects-with-100-million | title=DOT Funds Four Offshore Wind Port Projects | date=28 October 2022 | website=North American Windpower}} At that time, construction was expected to begin in late 2023 and projected to begin operating in late 2025.{{Cite web|date=October 26, 2022|url=https://www.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/schumer-announces-following-his-push-staten-islands-arthur-kill-terminal-awarded-48m-federal-grant-senator-says-si-is-one-step-closer-to-becoming-major-offshore-wind-hub-with-these-port-investment-funds-which-he-secured-in-bipartisan-infrastructure-and-jobs-law|title=SCHUMER ANNOUNCES, FOLLOWING HIS PUSH, STATEN ISLAND'S ARTHUR KILL TERMINAL AWARDED $48M FEDERAL GRANT; SENATOR SAYS SI IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING MAJOR OFFSHORE WIND HUB WITH THESE PORT INVESTMENT FUNDS, WHICH HE SECURED IN BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE & JOBS LAW|website=www.schumer.senate.gov}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.offshorewind.biz/2022/10/31/three-us-ports-secure-federal-financing-for-offshore-wind-projects/|title=Three US Ports Secure Federal Financing for Offshore Wind Projects|first=Adnan|last=Durakovic|date=October 31, 2022|website=offshoreWIND.biz}}{{Cite web|url=https://esd.ny.gov/esd-media-center/press-releases/esd-announces-48-million-federal-grant-awarded-arthur-kill-terminal-offshore-wind-staging-assembly-port-staten-island|title=Empire State Development Announces $48 Million Federal Grant Awarded to Arthur Kill Terminal for Offshore Wind Staging and Assembly Port on Staten Island|website=Empire State Development|date=October 28, 2022}}
