Fort Lauderdale company wants to run Cuba ferry
The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A Fort Lauderdale company is still awaiting
government approval to run a ferry between Port Everglades and Cuba.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel ( http://sunsent.nl/yLLx0m) reports that
Havana Ferry Partners applied for the license nearly two years ago.

The company is one of at least four interested in running ferries to
Cuba through travel licenses allowed as exemptions to the embargo.

A U.S. Treasury Department official told the newspaper in an e-mail the
office cannot comment on specific licenses.

Absent the approval, Havana Ferry is pushing for a one-time permission
to carry passengers to Cuba in March for Pope Benedict XVI's scheduled
visit.

Broward County leaders have backed requests for ferries, which traveled
frequently between Havana and Florida before the communist revolution.
