Study: Washington State

Should Buy 12

New Vessels

Report Earmarks $34.3 Million

For New Vessels In Phase I

A recent report commissioned by the Washington

State Transportation Commission focusing on pas- senger only ferry (POF) service in Puget Sound concluded that ultimately the area should purchase 12 new, 350-passenger, 30-knot catamaran type pas- senger vessels.

The report was created to develop a plan for expanded and improved POF service in Puget sound, which would include service between Seattle and four outlying areas: Bremerton, Southworth, Kingston and Vashon.

Implementation of the plan is recommended in two phases, so as to accurately keep up with passenger demand and to give time for necessary land-based terminal improvements. The core of the program includes the purchase of seven new vessels and the retention of the Tyee, a 319-passenger, 23-knot, Cat- erpillar-powered catamaran built by Nichols Broth- ers for $2.5 million. Phase II of the project, scheduled for a minimum of seven years later, in- cludes the purchase of five additional vessels to satisfy increased demand.

The projected cost for Phase I is $60.5 million, with $34.3 million of that earmarked for vessels; Phase II is projected to cost $50.7 million.

VESSEL SPECIFICATIONS

Currently, the area has three vessels in operation, the already-mentioned Tyee and two monohull ves- sels, the Skagit and the Kalama. The primary objective of the new POF program is to provide consistently reliable and frequent service. With this objective in mind, and using prior experience, a detailed design and equipment specification list is outlined in the study.

For example, prior experience indicates the need for a high-speed design which causes minimal wake- wash damage. Complaints of wake-wash damage along the Rich Passage shoreline shortly after POF (Continued on Page 15) 10 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
