Ship Will Dock
At VeraderO,
Official Says

The length of the ferry
trip between Key West and
Cuba will be cut by at least
two hours on Feb. /, it was
announced, today by N. G.
Hines, executive vice presi-
dent of the Caribbean Ferry
System.
Hines said that the saving IN
time would be made possible by the
fact that the ship, the "City of Key
West will dock at Veradero Beach
instead of Cardenas.
Channel Under Way
ALI that stands in the way Of
those plans is the completion of q
deep draft channel being dug
through the Veradero peninsula,
Hines said. Feb. ] is the compie-
ton date for that project.
The Veradero docking facilities
viii make it unnecessary to enter
Cardenas Channel, a route that
adds almost two hours to the trip,
Hines said.
An even larger time saving win
be effected when the ferry COM

He added that the firm pre-
sently holds options on three ocean

One of the ships is in service
in Atlantic waters and the other
two are in England, Hines reveal
ed.
Hines also quashed rumors that
Caribbean Ferry System has been
negotiating for purchase of the Car
ibe Queen, vessel owned by the
Gulf Atlantic Transportation Co.
The latter firm had long talked
about starting Key West Cuba
car ferry service with that ship.
Hines declined to comment on
the announcement that the p and
