If you're planning to be on or near the Hudson River this weekend, please be aware of increased maritime security measures.

As part of the America 250 celebration, the U.S. Navy's USS MARINETTE will be traveling on the Hudson River during its scheduled visit to Albany from July 3–8, 2026.

To help ensure a safe passage, please follow these important safety guidelines:

Boaters: Keep a minimum distance of 100 yards from the USS MARINETTE. Entering the designated security zone with an unauthorized vessel or watercraft is prohibited.

Drone Pilots: Do not operate drones within 3,000 feet horizontally or 1,000 feet vertically of the vessel unless specifically authorized.

These temporary security measures are in place to protect everyone on the water and support a safe transit for the ship. We appreciate your cooperation and encourage all river users to remain alert and follow directions from law enforcement and maritime officials.

Stay safe and enjoy the holiday weekend responsibly!
