摘要

The U.S. Coast Guard ordered two dozen NY Waterway fer-ries out of service in late Novem-ber and December because of maintenance deficiencies. Sector New York took the action and increased the frequency of inspections after finding prob-lems with unreported collision damage, improperly maintained fire and dewatering systems, expired lifesaving equipment and other issues.
