Island Briefs No additional ships in 2021 BAR HARBOR — At this week’s Town Council meeting, council members voted to add no additional cruise ships to the existing schedule for the 2021 season. They also accepted the advice of Town Manager Cornell Knight who suggested the council hire the Portland-based Pan Atlantic Consultants to conduct research, generate and distribute a survey about cruise ships. “The estimate would be $12,600… they can complete the [survey] work by the end of March, but they would just need to start this month,” said Knight. Council member Jill Golthwait’s proposed motion to add no additional cruise ships for the 2021 season was seconded by council member Erin Cough and passed unanimously. The motion to accept the consultant hiring advice from the town manager was enacted by council member Gary Friedmann and passed unanimously as well.
