Woods Hole Plans

New Passenger Ferry —Bids Invited

The Steamship Authority, which runs year- round between mainland Cape Cod, Mass., and the Islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, is well along in its planning for a new passenger/ vehicle ferry to join its six-vessel fleet by the summer of 1993.

A 21-page "Invitation to Participate in Pre-

Qualification" for bidding, along with other data, is available to the nation's shipyards by contact- ing James P. Swindler, assistant engineering and procurement manager at the Steamship

Authority, P.O. Box 284, Woods Hole, Mass. 02543, (508) 548-5011, Extension 286.

Deadline for accepting responses to the pre- qualification procedure is 12:00 noon, January 31, 1992.

In March or April 1992, the Steamship Au- thority intends to invite sealed bids from pre- qualified shipyards for construction to begin in the May/June 1992 period—with completion date of June or July 1993.

Shipyards that fail to comply with the pre- qualification process will not be considered eli- gible to bid.

The present Steamship Authority was created by an Act of Legislature of the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts in 1960. For the past 28 consecu- tive years, the Steamship Authority has expanded to meet rising service demand without benefit of federal, state of local tax subsidies. It services the Island of Martha's vineyard from the port of

Woods Hole and the Island of Nantucket from the port of Hyannis.

German Shipyard

Subsidy Cuts

To Be Reinstated

According to a spokesman for the budget group in the German coalition government, planned cuts of $79.3 million from the aid package to

German shipbuilding are to be "corrected" and the full amount reinstated.

Economics minister Jurgen Moellemann announced earlier this year that as part of an overall reduction of German subsidies, about $79.3 million was to be cut from the shipbuilding aid program.

Larger than expected financial needs to cope with German unification dictated the subsidy cuts amid massive protests from the shipbuild- ing industry.

The industry, with the "correction" in Bonn, can draw on about $43,000,000 in 1992 and 1993, and $60,000,000 in 1994. The coastal states, in addition, will provide funds to subsidize prices for orders worth a total of about $1.8 billion.
