Did you know the SYCAMORE, a 225’ Juniper class buoy tender, has a continuous ice breaking capability of 2 feet of ice thickness. This has been helpful this year on the Hudson cutting paths for mariners on the Hudson to hove too over night and get some much needed rest. This allows them to be sharp and bright for their voyage the next day in these challenging conditions .

02/10/2026

After the sub zero temperatures through the weekend, much of the Hudson River freezes up and requires SYCAMORE to reestablish the track from the previous day. As well many of the vessels that hove too in the ice for the night need assistance to continue their journey and provide crucial supplies to communities up and down the river.

Earlier today, SYCAMORE assisted tug and barge Sapphire Coast near West Point, NY. Maneuvering around the vessel to break up the ice and clear a path to keep the Marine Transportation System on the Hudson operational.
