| 摘要： | It's that time of the year again. Media outlets start publishing their top news stories of the year. And WorkBoat is no different. Each year in our December issue we present the 10 biggest workboat industry news stories of the year. This year our coverage (see page 36) includes topics ranging from offshore wind to workforce retention to autonomous vessels and more. The item that impressed me the most was the evacuation of the Staten Island Ferry Sandy Ground after a fire broke out in the engine room with 868 passengers aboard on Dec. 22, 2022. The story was a featured article in the April 2023 issue of WorkBoat. The ferry was bound from Manhat-ten to Staten Island, N.Y. A little after 5:15 p.m. a 911 emergency call was made, prompting an array of entities to rush in to help. "Five New York Police Department vessels headed to the scene and a radio call went out for all available ferries to respond. Tugboats came to help keep the Sandy Ground in position and another ferry moved close to create a lee as wind and waves increased with stormy weather," writes our Contributing Editor Kirk Moore. |
