New York City has expanded its water ferry service, operated by New York Water Taxi.
This service normally runs between IKEA and Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan, but has added a new stop at Van Brunt Street to support local businesses hurt by Hurricane Sandy.
 The free ferry runs between 10am and 9pm.
Originally, when this free service was first introduced, it proved to be popular with local residents, causing changes in the operating policy to favor IKEA shoppers.
Under the current schedule, the ferry runs from Monday to Friday, every 40 minutes from 2pm, $5 for one way.
On Saturday and Sunday, it runs free of charge, every 20 minutes from 11am.

Red Hook has been served by NYC Ferry's South Brooklyn route since 2017.

The transatlantic liner RMS Queen Mary 2 docks in Red Hook.
In spring 2006, a new Carnival Cruise Lines terminal, the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, opened at Pier 12 at Pioneer Street, bringing additional tourists.

The Red Hook Container Terminal is one of four such facilities in the Port of New York and New Jersey and is the only maritime facility in Brooklyn to handle container ships.
