Decommissioned ferry finally auctioned

New York City finally found a buyer for the 'Andrew J. Barberi', which went up for auction in May with a starting price of $155,000. It didn't attract a single bid before the auction was set to end on May 27, however. The auction was then extended and the Department of Citywide Administrative Services lowered the opening bid. It sold on June 17, the last day of the auction, for just over $101,000. The ferry was removed from regular service in 2023.

Decomissioned ferry to be auctioned

The 'Andrew J. Barberi', which retired in 2023, was put up for public surplus auction this week by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services. Bidding on the ferry opened at $155,000. As of May 16, 2024, no one had made an offer. The vessel has been stripped of its propulsion and navigation systems. Its eventual new owner will need to tow the ship from its berth in St. George. https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/auction/view?auc=3514658
