摘要：	The aluminum passenger-only ferry Ocracoke Express received its Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection recently and began carrying passengers to Ocracoke Island for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) on May 17. The state-owned, 129-passenger 92′×26′ Ocracoke Express is a catamaran-style passenger ferry outfitted with 96 interior seats, an upper deck with 26 additional seats, two wheelchair tie-downs, 16 bicycle racks, and a concession area. It will carry passengers from Hatteras, N.C., to Silver Lake Harbor in Ocracoke Village and back - a trip of approximately 70 minutes each way - through Labor Day. US Watercraft, Hubert, N.C., the commercial boatbuilding division of Waterline Systems, took over construction of the aluminum ferry midway through the project after the original builder, US Workboats, declared bankruptcy after a dispute with NCDOT. Working closely with Marek Yacht Design of Wilmington, N.C., construction was completed by US Wa-tercraft's team at its waterfront facility in Hubert. Elliott Bay Design Group handled the vessel design and systems and BMT/Nigel Gee was responsible for the boat's hull lines and structure.
