Austal turns out second ferry

MOBILE, Ala. - The second Hawaii Superferry left Austal's ship shed on the Mobile River into a floating dry dock Monday. The unnamed vessel should be floated off the dry dock at Atlantic Marine Tuesday, then will head back to Austal for final work before sea trials later this year. The ferry is part of a two-vessel, $190 million deal Austal landed in April 2004. (Source: Mobile Press-Register, 09/30/08)
