Conflicting Reports About Ferry Buyer
Last Update: 3/21/2006 11:00:41 PM
(Rochester, NY / Dover, England) - A British company hoping to purchase Rochester's fast ferry, said it could be the cornerstone of a new service between the United Kingdom and France.
However, there are conflicting reports about whether it is really a contender as far as the City of Rochester is concerned.
Navmed Ltd. did not respond to our request for an interview.
Our news partner the Democrat and Chronicle reports the City of Rochester has not responded to the company's $30 million bid.
Still, Navmed Ltd. has already released a sketch to British newspapers of what the vessel would look like with a new logo.
The company admits it doesn't have a track record in the ferry industry. According to one British reporter, the company is a brand new company, but does have serious backers behind it.
The City of Rochester says it's negotiating with several parties and Navmed is not one of them.
