I wonder if the juice jobs will be prioritized parking near the ends for quick “drop off” if needed?

"Not sure a 55 footer can really be classified as ‘Huge’"

According to both the AP and Chicago style guides, it would be superfluous in a news story (and ESPECIALLY in a news story headline) to use "YUGE" in a description of any sort other than to distinguish it from a similar thing that WASN'T yuge.

Ipso facto, using "YUGE" in reference to a 55-foot ship is superfluous unless there alternatively is a "TINY" 55-foot ship it might otherwise be confused with.

And is that 55 feet from stem-to-stern, or 55 feet at the waterline? Because the story does not make that detail clear, and the two are very different things.

A 55 foot long boat is NOT huge.
