  VT Halter Marine finalizes construction of a ConRo vessel for Pasha Hawaii

  

  The M/V Marjorie C, a combination container/roll-on/roll-off vessel owned by Honolulu-based Pasha Hawaii  has attained main engine light off while under final construction at VT Halter Marine, Pascagoula, MS. This important step leaves only the final milestone for the vessel prior to delivery to Pasha Hawaii, the company said Wednesday in a press-release.
  
  Main engine light off is a significant achievement with today’s modern shipbuilding technology as it signals the complex network of ship systems is complete and all successfully working together. Sea trials are now anticipated before the end of the month, with vessel delivery to follow in March.
  
  The addition of the Marjorie C to the Mainland/Hawaii trade lane represents a substantial long-term investment to the future of serving Hawaii. Pasha Hawaii’s commitment of over $200 million to the Hawaii trade is also a large success for the Jones Act, exemplifying the growing trend of introducing modern vessels into the U.S. shipping industry and strengthening the economy with domestic maritime jobs.
  
  Pasha Hawaii (part of Pasha Group) specializes in transportation of containers, cars, trucks and oversize cargo and runs a network of terminals and distribution hubs. Incorporated in 1947, the family-owned Pasha Group is a worldwide transportation and logistics company, terminal operator using information tracking systems. The Group operates through more than 300 trade centers around the globe.
