JOINT VENTURE TO BUILD SECOND JONES ACT TRADE RO/RO VESSEL
Pasha Hawaii Transport Lines, the joint venture of the Pasha Group and Van Ommeren Shipping (USA) LLC, have exercised their option with Halter Marine to build a second Jones Act pure car and truck carrier.
The ship will be a sister vessel to a 13,000 deadweight ton ship now being built by Halter Marine at their Pascagoula, Miss. shipyard.
The two ships will provide weekly service between Hawaii and California. The trade currently generates over 150,000 vehicles per year, according to Pasha Hawaii Transport Lines.
