“This week the SS United States Conservancy participated in a court-ordered confidential mediation following our motion to extend the deadline to move the ship from Philadelphia’s Pier 82. Progress toward addressing a range of issues was made, but it will require additional time and discussions to come to an amicable resolution to this dispute.
“As a result, Judge Anita Brody issued an order temporarily suspending the deadline for the removal of the vessel pending additional negotiations between the parties. The Conservancy’s efforts in the days ahead will continue to center around conducting good faith negotiations and ensuring that the legacy of America’s Flagship endures and inspires for future generations. We will continue to work tirelessly to chart the best possible forward course for the SS United States given the constraints placed upon us by this litigation.”
