| 摘要： | The rarefied world of the America's Cup provided inspiration for a ferry that is one of a growing number with low-emission, high-speed hybrid- and electric-powered designs. At the same time, the continued operation of two historic landmarks (see sidebar) is a nod to the past of a dynamic sector that is gradually recovering from a steep Covid-19-induced passenger drought. Crew and commuters heading to work have been hard to find. Ridership for many ferry operators was down 40%-50%, but things are getting better. And one new Staten Island ferry was finally expected to be in New York harbor this year. As summer began, passengers came flooding back "to the point we're at pre-pandemic levels on most routes," said Ian Sterling, spokesman for Washington State Ferries (WSF). A lot of the traffic is due to tourism, since many office buildings are not back to work yet. |
