Great Lakes Ship­yard hauled out the Kel­leys Island Fer­ry KAYLA MARIE on April 18th for its USCG 5‑Year inspec­tion sur­vey. The yard prompt­ly com­plet­ed all work, and refloat­ed the ves­sel just two (2) days lat­er, on April 20th. The ves­sel was able to imme­di­ate­ly return to ser­vice, to sup­port its dai­ly auto/passenger fer­ry oper­a­tion between Mar­ble­head and Kel­leys Island.

“The Ship­yard prides itself on its abil­i­ty to pro­vide high qual­i­ty ser­vices that its cus­tomers can depend upon. Kel­leys Island Fer­ry Boat Line need­ed a very quick turn-around, and the yard was glad to accom­mo­date them,” said Chris Hen­der­son, Project Manager.

“With the use of our Marine Trav­elift, we can offer much more flex­i­bil­i­ty in our dry­dock­ing sched­ule, and can usu­al­ly accom­mo­date any cus­tomer require­ment,” Hen­der­son added.
