New London CT is a small deepwater port with frieght, a submarine base, tourism sites and most recently construction of the former cargo port into a facility that can assemble stantions for wind propelled electric generation. Many of the former & latter we service with our ferries and tug services. After the wind generation facility is complete, the lessor of the port facilities has stated it will reopen for container and break bulk cargo for movement by the adjacent I-95,I-395 or the adjacent regional railroads.
None at the present time.
On various occasions have had to speak with CT's Members of Congress to make them aware of any negative or positive impacts on Cross Sound Ferry and its sister Thames Ship Yard.
