Maine's International Marine Terminal in line for US subsidy

MAINE's International Marine Terminal has been selected as one of eight projects to be eligible for US Department of Transportation subsidies under the Marine Highway Programme.

The tug-and-barge operation from Portland to Boston and New York-New Jersey has received a designation that makes it eligible for funding, reports the Associated Press, adding that the Maine Port Authority plans to deploy a new vessel on the loop soon.

The feeder service started in 1995, but has maintained a regular schedule since 2007, said the report.
