Steamship Authority general manager Robert Davis received positive feedback from the ferry line’s board Tuesday morning as part of his annual evaluation. The four board members present credited Davis with an overall solid performance under the extraordinary pressures brought on by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The board was advised of a major reservations overhaul initiated following a system crash in January, when general reservations opened for the season. The board voted 4-0 to award Thames Shipyard a $808,138 contract to overhaul the Governor, despite Rhode Island’s Senesco Marine being the low bidder. Davis noted that under state law, a former SSA employee who works at Senesco has yet to satisfy a one-year cool-off period before working on the ferry line’s ferries.
