Concessions, at least vending machine goodies, could be returning to Steamship Authority ferries in the middle of May. The idea of food trucks in the terminal parking lots was even floated, though it was never discussed in any detail.
During Tuesday’s SSA board meeting, general manager Robert Davis said the ferry line’s concession company, Centerplate, is looking for ways to begin providing some food and drinks on the ferries. He said it would likely be prepackaged foods that can be consumed on the outside decks during better weather.
