The Louisiana Department of Transportation has given its approval for LabMar to take over the operations of the Cameron Ferry, according to Baird Maritime. This development marks a significant change in the management of these vital maritime transport services.
The transition period for the handover of operations is planned to last 60 days. During this time, the state's transportation department will maintain ownership of both the ferries and the associated terminals, as reported by Baird Maritime.
LabMar has made a commitment to retain the current employees who work on the ferry operations. This ensures continuity for the workforce during the change in management, as stated in the Baird Maritime report.
The new vessel, named Holly Beach, is currently awaiting crew certification. This certification is a necessary step before the vessel can become fully operational under the new management, according to Baird Maritime.
