The city of New York is preparing for the arrival of USNS Comfort, the hospital ship scheduled to come into port Monday [1000 bed ].
New York is ready to welcome a "much needed" hospital ship, Chris Singleton, spokesperson for the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
On Saturday, while speaking as a part of a send-off for the Comfort in Norfolk, Virginia, President Donald Trump called it "a 70,000-ton message of hope and solidarity."
To ready the Manhattan Cruise Terminal's Pier 90, which will become the ship's temporary home, several city agencies have become involved.
A number of city agencies, including the Office of Emergency Management, have been dredging the berth at Manhattan Cruise Terminal’s Pier 90, where the USNS Comfort will dock, to ensure there is sufficient depth in the slip.
