Woods Hole

In the news Authority-reported

Reports that name Woods Hole, newest first: the headline, the outlet and a link to the original. Voydar does not copy articles. A report tied to this ship by its IMO number in the text says so; a report that only prints the name is a possible match, because other ships can carry the same name.

About Woods Hole

MV Woods Hole is a passenger and vehicle ferry operated by the Steamship Authority. The Authority awarded the vessel's $40.4 million construction contract to Conrad Shipyard, located in Morgan City, Louisiana, in December 2014. Construction was completed in 2016, and Woods Hole was christened on May 20, after which she underwent dockside and sea trials before traveling north to her namesake city. On June 13, she was commissioned into the Authority's fleet during a ceremony in Woods Hole, and began regular service four days later. During her first few months in operation, she displayed a tendency to generate an excessive bow wave; while not impeding her operations, the Authority made some modifications in an attempt to correct the issue.
