Miller Boat Line has ordered a new 140-foot-long, 38.5-foot-wide ferry to join its current fleet of four passenger/vehicle ferries. The drive-on, drive-off ferry can accommodate 26 vehicles or 600 passengers and will travel between the peninsula of Catawba to Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass Island, Ohio, on Lake Erie.
The ferry will be built by Superior, Wisconsin-based Fraser Shipyards, and will make her debut in the fall of 2019. The ferry will have better propulsion and maneuverability than its current ships, more cargo space, and a maindeck ADA accessible passenger cabin. It will be christened Mary Ann Market in honor of the company’s late owner.
