The Battery Park City Ferry Terminal, is a passenger ferry terminal in Battery Park City, Manhattan, serving ferries along the Hudson River in New York City and northeastern New Jersey. It provides slips to ferries, water taxis, and sightseeing boats in the Port of New York and New Jersey.
The floating dock is moored at the foot of Vesey Street, consisting of four bow-loading slips and two side loading points to serve an additional slip. The mono-hull structure is the largest of its type in the world, covering 0.75 acres (0.30 ha) acres, its two towers anchored to bedrock 75 feet (23 m) below the water's surface.
The terminal is primarily served by commuter ferries operated by NY Waterway, which refers to the terminal as Brookfield Place / Battery Park City, Seastreak, which refers to it as Brookfield Place, and Liberty Landing Ferry, which refers to it as Brookfield Place Terminal. Each of these names refer to Brookfield Place, a shopping center and office building complex formerly known as the World Financial Center. NYC Ferry uses the terminal for its St. George route, referring to it as Battery Park City / Vesey St.
