The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is located at Red Hook Pier 12, on the south side of the Atlantic Basin[5] at Pioneer and Imlay Streets. Vehicular access is through the main gate near the intersection of Bowne and Imlay Streets.
The terminal was converted from a 1954 freight terminal and was earlier the site of the Atlantic Basin Iron Works. The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal opened on April 15, 2006, following a $52 million investment by NYCEDC, with the arrival of the RMS Queen Mary 2.[6] On July 15 and 16, 2017,[7] the Brooklyn Street Circuit in the port and supporting roads hosted the Formula E electric car racing series' ninth and tenth round in the 2016–17 Formula E season.[8]
