By Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal

A Goldman Sachs ferry that is operated by New York Waterway slammed into a Jersey City pier some 300 yards north of the dock it was headed for this afternoon, leaving at least seven people, including the captain, with minor injuries.

Two people aboard the ferry said the boat struck the end of Owen Grundy Pier at 4:20 p.m. The pier was later cordoned off with police tape and police at the scene said the pier would remain closed until it could be inspected to determine if it suffered structural damage when struck by the ?York.?

Jersey City and hospital officials said five passengers and two crew members reported injuries ? three treated at the scene and four treated at the Jersey City Medical Center. A source said the captain was one of the people treated at the JCMC.

Acccording to the news they are saying it is NY Waterway Ferry and some name , owned by Goldman Sachs.

But other non Goldman Sachs employees can use it. I've takened it to WFC.

Is the ferry boat really owned by Goldman? So it's a private boat? or was it one of the Waterway ones that Goldman pays to ferry it's employees across the river?

Incase you've been hearing helicopters hovering above your neighborhoods on Paulus Hook area, there has been a Ferry Boat accident on the dock.

5 injured. The ferry boat is owned by Goldman Sachs.

Sussex St have been closed off.
