NYC Emergency Management
June 6, 2025 at 01:26 PM
This morning, NYC Emergency Management coordinated the safe tow of the ARM Cuauhtémoc across the East River from Pier 36 to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the vessel safely docked at GMD Shipyard at 0735 hours and will undergo repairs.
The operation brought together partners across every level of government, including the U.S. Coast Guard, NYPD Harbor, NYC Ferry, NYCEDC, the Mayor’s Office of International Affairs, and the Government of Mexico, alongside private maritime and shipyard teams.
Relocating a naval vessel by tow through an active waterway required detailed planning, unified command, and constant communication.
We remain mindful that this operation follows a tragic incident in which two sailors lost their lives. Our thoughts remain with the families and the crew of the ARM Cuauhtémoc.
Thank you to all who made this complex operation a success.
