    New York District drift collection vessels work long hours to clear tons of drift and debris from the New York and New Jersey Harbor after Hurricane Sandy. New York District's Caven Point Marine Terminal suffered extensive damages during Hurricane Sandy, but despite the destruction of the main facility, New York District personnel have continued to support missions to support safe navigation of the New York and New Jersey Harbor.

    Caven Point hit hard by Sandy, supports NY/NJ Harbor and begins own recovery

    When Hurricane Sandy hit New York and New Jersey it brought incredible storm surges and severely damaged areas along the water. Facilities at New York District’s Caven Point Marine Terminal in Jersey City, N.J., were destroyed by the 5-foot plus wall of water that tore through whatever was in its path. Despite the loss of their facilities, the personnel working out of Caven Point knew they still had important missions to support the New York and New Jersey Harbor, which is a critical piece of the region’s infrastructure and economy.
