3,600 sq ft Permanent-Grade Modular Office Building & Passenger Terminal for Woods Hole Steamship Authority

When the Steamship Authority began a six-year terminal rebuild serving 2+ million passengers a year, they needed a zero-downtime replacement. Triumph Modular delivered a 3,600 sq ft high-traffic modular office building and ferry terminal that looks custom coastal, withstands salt-air storms, and was fully operational in under six months.

The Challenge

Keep ticketing, waiting areas, concessions, and staff offices running 365 days a year on an active ferry dock while the permanent terminal is demolished and rebuilt.

Solution: <6-Month Turnkey Modular Building

From concept to ribbon-cutting in under six months, the entire modular building was factory-built, barged to site, craned into place, and purchased outright (after starting as a lease) proving modular speed and quality for public transit.
