Lyman-Morse has been awarded a contract to design and build a fleet of solar-powered ferries that will restore regular passenger service to a portion of the Merrimack River in Massachusetts for the first time in nearly a century. The Thomaston-based boatbuilder is set to build three aluminum, solar-assisted electric ferries for MeVa Transit, the public transportation agency that serves the Merrimack Valley region of Massachusetts. The project is funded by a $4.2 million federal grant.
