New York Harbor will soon have its first public, hybrid-electric ferry, with construction of a new Governors Island ferry underway at Conrad Industries' shipyard in Morgan City, La. New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Clare Newman, president and CEO of the Trust for Governors Island, made the announcement March 29. The forthcoming ferry, designed by Elliott Bay Design Group, a national leader in the deployment of battery and hybrid-electric technology on passenger and vehicle ferries, will measure 190 by 62 feet, with a molded depth of 13 feet. The yet-to-be-named ferry will have room for 1,200 passengers and offer a cruising speed of 10 knots. The vessel will be equipped with a lower-level lounge that is ADA-accessible. |
