What Did the Haul Out Cost? $1,276,965.71 The Guemes Island Ferry went into dry dock on September 12, 2005 to have the bottom painted, new engines installed, and ADA and sponson modifications to the vessel made. More than four weeks were added to the outage in October/November with the ferry returning to service on November 12. Repair work was done on the Anacortes dock and begun on the Guemes dock. While in dry dock, one repaired outdrive was installed and the second outdrive repaired. New controls were installed along with extensive rewiring. Engine housings were enlarged to accommodate the new engines. An oil leak in one newly repaired outdrive was discovered during initial test runs, necessitating additional dry docking and repair at the Dakota Creek Shipyard. Throughout the haulout, van service was provided on Guemes Island and Arrow Launch ran both beach landing and ramp docking passenger vessels. What did all this cost? Considerably more than the $800,000 originally budgeted. It has been a very expensive year for the ferry with parking lot work, multiple breakdowns and the loss of revenue during outages. |
