MMA ship ‘State of Maine’ to bear Maine’s name as home port
CASTINE, Maine (WABI) – A victory for widespread sense and residential state pleasure..
That’s what Senator Collins stated a couple of choice regarding Maine Maritime Academy’s coaching ship.
MMA’s new coaching vessel, the State of Maine, will bear the designation of Castine, Maine, as its dwelling port.
This comes following a push from Collins.
The U.S. Maritime Administration had initially proposed labeling all new coaching vessels for state maritime academies as hailing from Norfolk, Virginia.
Collins is the rating Member of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee and was profitable in convincing the company to reverse course.
