The 320'×70'×21'6" Staten Island ferry Michael H. Ollis was named Boat of the Year at the 41st International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans in December. Eastern Shipbuilding Group (ESG) delivered the first of three new Ollis-class ferries to the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) Staten Island Ferry Division. The shipyard was awarded the $257 million contract to build the three ferries in 2017. "It's an honor to be recognized at the largest commercial shipbuilding event in the world and to be selected for this prestigious award," said Joey D'Isernia, president of Eastern Shipbuilding. "The Michael H. Ollis Staten Island Ferry is in a league of its own with the Buy America certifications, environmental protections, high energy efficiency, innovative safety measures, powerful performance, and elegant design features. We are proud to deliver this exceptional vessel that millions of passengers will get to ride." |
