The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration has signed contracts totaling $1,136,106 for the recycling of three obsolete ships from its reserve fleets. All three vessels will be recycled at the Esco Marine facility in Brownsville, Texas.
Two of the ships, Cape Catoche and Cape Carthage, are in the James River Reserve Fleet in Virginia; the other vessel is in the Beamont Reserve Fleet in Texas.
The two vessels leaving the James River fleet make it 69 vessels that have departed from that fleet since Maritime Administration sought to have the vessels dismantled.
