Naval architecture and marine engineering firm Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) has won a contract from the New York Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) to design a new class of ferries that will operate between the boroughs of Staten Island and Manhattan. NYC DOT is expected to apply for the grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Sandy Resilience Program to help pay for the ferries, which will cost an estimated $309M to build. The project scope consists of a complete design package, including contract drawings, specifications and other documents for vessels to replace the existing Barberi and Kennedy Class ferries. Also included are propulsion system retrofits of the existing Molinari Class to establish consistency between the new ferries and those that will remain in the fleet.
