The newest ferry to join the WSF Fleet, M/V Suquamish – WSF photo
WSF is excited to announce that we officially took delivery of our fourth 144-car ferry, Suquamish, late yesterday, July 26, from shipbuilder Vigor.
Following outfitting, sea trials and crew training, the new Olympic Class ferry is scheduled to begin carrying passenger this fall.
Suquamish will operate on the Mukilteo/Clinton route in the summer and will serve as a maintenance relief vessel in the winter, filling in when other ferries are getting their much-needed maintenance and preservation work.
Welcome to the fleet, Suquamish! Suquamish means “people of the clear salt water” in Southern Coast Salish Lushootseed language, taken from the name of the beach on Agate Passage in Kitsap County.
