Washington State Ferries is moving a lot of boats around right now as damage to one of their ferries puts it out of commission for 'up to four weeks.'
Washington State Ferries is moving a number of boats around now as one of its vehicles is now of commission for “up to four weeks” due to damage recently sustained.
The crack was found when crew members felt an intense vibration aboard the boat, leading to an inspection. “But the bigger boat, the bigger the problem,” Sterling added. “It has to go dry dock and that’s going to take some time. So, it’s going to be for out a couple of weeks, up to a month.” He also noted the entire propeller will need to be replaced.Wait times at the Seattle-Bremerton ferry terminal were around three hours Friday as another ferry had to be pulled off the Seattle-Bainbridge Island run to take the Walla Walla’s place.
“Bremerton has been on a one-boat service for a long time now, really, since the dark days of the pandemic. And so we moved a boat from Seattle-Bainbridge to help out on Bremerton to keep that route open, and then a very small boat the Salish, which would normally be up in Port Townsend, over to the Bainbridge Island,” Sterling said to KIRO Newsradio. “It’s a much smaller boat, normally, what’s there, you’d have a boat that can carry a couple of hundred cars.
