To the Editor:On the heels of the Office of Inspector General’s report, we need to turn our focus to the mismanagement of the spend on the three offshore supply vessels (the Aquinnah, the Barnstable, and the yet-to-arrive Monomoy). A few considerations:The three offshore supply vessels were purchased for $5.6 million each, with an estimated conversion cost of $10 million (total: $15.6 million per vessel), for a total budget of $47 million. Current estimate of total costs has ballooned to $87 million ($29 million per vessel), and one boat is not here yet (was due early summer 2025). The two boats that have arrived have undergone a steady series of repairs in excess of the purchase price.
