Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

This contract involves a full dry‑dock cycle, extensive surface preparation, painting, steel and mechanical repairs, and towing – all high‑cost marine services. Based on similar Virginia ferry projects, the total contract value typically ranges from a few hundred thousand dollars for limited repairs to several million dollars for complete dry‑dock overhauls. Therefore, a reasonable estimate is roughly $500,000 at the low end to $5,000,000 at the high end.
