NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- A new high-speed ferry service from Quonset Point to Martha's Vineyard could be up and running by early next month.

The service would be the first of its kind, and the first outside of Massachusetts. The ferry would be operated by Rhode Island Fast Ferry. It would carry up to 350 passengers on the 90 minute ride.
