New York City Jail Barge to Be Scrapped, Opening Space for New Marine Terminal

A 625-foot New York City jail barge moored on the East River in the South Bronx is finally set to head to the scrappers, two years after its last prisoners disembarked. The removal will open up valuable maritime property adjacent to the city’s wholesale food and beverage distribution centers and allow for construction of a new marine terminal serving those facilities.
