The USS Orleck may finally be preparing for a berth at Pier 1 – months after its previously agreed-upon moving date and without currently satisfying all conditions of its contract with the city.

, only has the authority to extend it up to six months, meaning the group has to meet all deliverables and move the ship by March 30, 2023.

The city allowed JHNSA to berth the ship in front of the Hyatt Regency under the expectation it would be only a few weeks, not months, the mayor’s office Chief Administrative Officer Brian Hughes told committee members. The organization does not currently pay the dock fees the city would normally charge at the location, and it also cannot charge money for tours, only ask for donations.

If the council chooses not to take up the emergency legislation and waits until January, Boyer said the contractor was not sure if the work could be done before the March deadline for the ship to move.The contract with the city specifically outlines a move to Pier 1. Advocates for the ship like William Harrell wanted to see it move elsewhere.

The DIA has other plans in the works, including the new location for MOSH and Shipyards West Park that have been designed around the Pier 1 location, Boyer said. The various attractions would work together to draw visitors, she said.
