Port Of Coeymans
Although the Port of Coeymans states that it is poised to be a renewable powerhouse, it deals mostly with waste management. The port has been accused of skirting local environmental protection and noise ordinances. The Port of Coeymans also supported the building of the Tappan Zee Bridge on the Hudson River. Spans of the new bridge were built at the port and floated down the river. The old bridge spans were brought back to the Port, disassembled, reused or recycled.
The port built the foundation for Little Island in New York City. The project involves building structures that slide over piers on the waterfront in New York Harbor.< The Port is in the running to be named as a production site for the Off-shore wind projects in New York. This is part of the New York State Offshore Wind Master Plan. The port would need $130 million in additional investment to make it ready to support the off-shore wind projects. The other ports in the running would take approximately twice that. Mammoet has a 660-ton crane on site for offshore wind components.
