Photos: New ship for Jones Act fleet M/V Marjorie C launched at shipyard

Pasha Hawaii's new 692-foot M/V Marjorie C was launched Saturday, Aug. 9 at VT Halter Marine's shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss. The M/V Marjorie C is set to enter the U.S. mainland-Hawaii trade lane later this year. The new combination container and roll-on/roll-off (ConRo) vessel will sail opposite the M/V Jean Anne and enable Pasha Hawaii to bring weekly service to Hawaii. Like the Jean Anne, the Marjorie C will be operated by TOTE Services, Inc. and manned in all licensed positions by American Maritime Officers. Photo by Rick Helf
