Regulated Navigation Area: Heli-Carriers International, Upper New York Bay, New York and New Jersey

Riepilogo

The Coast Guard proposes to establish a Regulated Navigation Area (RNA) in a portion of Upper New York Bay. Heli-Carriers International intends to anchor a self-propelled, floating heliport in the waters of Upper New York Bay located in an area south southwest of Liberty Island and west of Federal Anchorage 20D for the purpose of operating a helicopter sightseeing service. This regulation is necessary to protect commercial mariners and the recreational boating public from the hazards associated with establishing a floating helicopter platform and passenger terminal near an anchorage area.
