Horizon wins remaining NYC ferry orders

摘要

Alabama's Horizon Shipbuilding has been contracted to construct and deliver the final five vessels to make up Hornblower's 19-ferry Citywide Ferry Service in New York City (NYC) (see Ship & Boat International November/December 2016, pages 48-49). As of December 2016, Horizon had been contracted to build seven of the ferries, with Louisiana-based boatyard Metal Shark down to produce six. Now, thanks to the updated contract, Horizon will supply 13 of the 26m x 8m, 150-pax, Incat Crowther-designed vessels to Hornblower.
