Study Being Conducted

For Boston-Nova Scotia

Ferry Service

A study is being conducted to de- termine whether or not Boston would be a viable port for one end of a passenger-vehicle ferry service to

Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

The marketing director of the Port ofMassachusettssaysthatRCKLines had proposed the $17 million concept in 1991. The port reportedly agreed to finance the $10,000 fee to conduct the study.

If this proposal proves to be profit- able the port hopes to attract other ferry operators to the route.
