Welcome to Station New York
Station New York is located in the City of New York in the Rosebank section of Staten Island, just north of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. Its operating area includes the waters of New York Harbor, the waterways around Staten Island, the Port of Newark, the East River, the lower Hudson River, Jamaica Bay and a portion of the lower New York Harbor below the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
Station New York is recognized as the busiest Coast Guard station in the nation. During a single month, the crew of the station may complete over 150 search and rescue cases, several hundred vessel boardings, as well as security boardings of large merchant vessels entering the Port of New York and New Jersey. The crews regularly conduct security visits to the many sensitive maritime locations in the New York area. It is not unusual for crews to log over 2,000 boat-hours per month.
Station New York often works joint operations with the New York Police Department and the New York Fire Department marine assets. This strong partnership allows Station New York to concentrate even harder on the Waterways of New York and New Jersey, which are responsible for bringing in 30% of the nations goods.
