MV Andrew J. Barberi

[7] The Andrew J. Barberi made her maiden voyage in August 1981[1] and, along with the Samuel I. Newhouse, was built to replace three steam-powered vessels.[6] Andrew J. Barberi was named after the longtime coach of Curtis High School's football team, who had died shortly before the ship was commissioned.The NTSB determined the probable cause of the collision was the assistant pilot's sudden incapacitation due to unreported and illegal use of prescription medications for chronic pain, high blood pressure and insomnia (none of these conditions had been reported to the Coast Guard as required by law), with a contributory cause of the master's failure to maintain command and control of his vessel.[16] Andrew J. Barberi was rebuilt in West Brighton, Staten Island by Caddell Dry Dock & Repair Co. and, on July 1, 2004, returned to regular service.[23][24] The New York City government was looking to retire the aging Andrew J. Barberi by 2012,[25][26] and her replacements, the Ollis-class ferries, were announced in 2014.
