It's a real shame that there aren't any places closer that could build this ferry! 🙄

Hard to get a better price when they are (or were) still a non union shipyard. Assuming this is the one near Mobile the place is huge. That said, all this business they getting might be the thing that gets them a Union, Alabama right to work bullshit or not.

Ferry service has to bid these out. If they paid more to have a local shipbuilder do it people would bitch about that too.

🙄 I am so sorry to be reading you don't know how to use the internet. Google is extremely helpful, look into it.

I found the website you referenced (I think you called it goggle??) but I didn’t find any boatyards that said they had ever made a ferry before. They seem to all be large ships (BIW) or yachts (everyone else) but maybe I’m using goggle wrong because today was the first time I’ve heard about it so maybe you have honed your searching skills more than I
