摘要：	New York Harbor commuter ferry operator Seast- reak upped its game in December 2021 with the arrival of the Courageous, a 720-passenger aluminum catamaran built by Midship Marine, Harvey, La., that stretches by 7' the fleet's last 150'×40' acquisition, the Commodore, delivered in 2018. Incat Crowther handled the design chores. "It's basically a sistership, but it's a couple of frames larger," said Seastreak president Jim Barker. The other difference is upgrades in passenger amenities and comfort. "It's a couple of notches above any ferry boat I've ever seen." With steady increases in passenger volume and company growth, Seastreak officials made the decision to go even bigger in 2019, stepping up from the 600-passenger capacity of the Commodore. As the Covid-19 pandemic struck in spring 2020, the company saw ridership plunge. But Seastreak persevered with the newbuild plan, and the new vessel's name was conceived as a tribute to medical workers who continued to travel by ferry to treat Covid patients, said James D. Barker, Seastreak's director of business development and marketing.
