At a well-attended public hearing Tuesday, Falmouth residents urged Steamship Authority governors to eliminate freight service from Woods Hole prior to 6:30 a.m.

The Coast Guard and Steamship Authority were busy with response efforts Saturday after the fast ferry Iyanough hit a jetty in the Hyannis Harbor Friday night.

A small fire in the engine room of the freight ferry Governor was quickly extinguished Friday morning, boat line general manager Wayne Lamson said.

The Steamship Authority has named Gerard J. Murphy as treasurer/comptroller for the boat line.

Mr. Murphy replaces Bob Davis, who will become SSA general manager when Wayne Lamson retires at the end of June. Mr. Murphy will start work on May 31 as treasurer-elect before becoming the official treasurer/comptroller on July 1, a press release said.

The Steamship Authority will continue to explore possible new routes between the Vineyard and New Bedford — one for barging trash and another for freight ferry service, both using private contractors.

A ruling this week stated that the state Department of Environmental Protection was correct when it issued a license for a new Steamship Authority terminal and ferry slips in Woods Hole.

The Steamship Authority has announced Terry Cote Vizard as the boat line’s new treasurer/comptroller.

The freight ferry Sankaty collided with the Island Home Friday evening while backing into the slip in Woods Hole. No one was injured in the mishap.

Steamship Authority governors Tuesday awarded a bid for a $2.6 million temporary modular terminal building in Woods Hole, another early step in a large reconstruction project at the Woods Hole facility.

Robert Davis was named to be the next general manager of the Steamship Authority in a unanimous vote at a special meeting Monday.
