Boatbuilding bitts.(On the Ways)
Bay State Cruise Co. has a 149-passenger cat under construction at Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Duclos Corp., Somerset, Mass., for service between Boston and Provincetown, Mass. The vessel has a June delivery date. The new boat will replace the Friendship IV, which was built in 1994 by Gladding-Hearn and has been operating under charter to Bay State for its Provincetown run in the summer. Designed by Incat Designs, the new, all-aluminum ferry measures 98'X29'6" and draws 6'. It will be powered by a pair of Cummins KTA38M2 diesel engines, each delivering 1,350 hp @ 1,950 rpm. The engines will turn twin Bruton's 5-bladed nibral propellers via ZF2550 reverse-reduction gearboxes. The ferry's top speed is expected to be about 30 knots. Incat and Gladding-Hearn have also announced a contract with New York Water Taxi for the construction of two 22-meter (72'), 149-passenger vessels. The two new checkered yellow-and-black cats will be delivered in 2005.

The Spirit of Ontario I, aka "The Breeze," arrived in Rochester, N.Y., on April 27 after it was damaged during a promotional stop in New York. While docking in New York, the new ferry struck a pier and punctured the hull above the water line. Repairs were made and the 284', 11,000-hp cat proceeded on to Lake Ontario. Built by Austal Ships, Perth, Australia, the $42.5 million fast vehicle ferry will run year-round across Lake Ontario between Toronto and Rochester at a speed of about 50 mph. Service was set to begin May 1, but as of May 8, a start-up date had not been announced. Once in service, the new cat will carry up to 774 passengers and 238 cars.
Meanwhile, the Fairweather, the first U.S.-built fast vehicle ferry, arrived in Juneau, Alaska, on March 27 after a 7,559-mile delivery trip from Derecktor Shipyards, Bridgeport, Conn. En route, the new 73-meter (240-foot) catamaran stopped at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the Panama Canal, Acapulco, San Diego, Seattle and Ketchikan, Alaska. Service was expected to begin sometime in May.
