Published 3:05 pm Sunday, December 9, 2012

Due to repair needs on three vessels, ferry service  on the Seattle/Bremerton route and the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route will be reduced for the week of Dec. 10-14.

Seattle/Bremerton: The 124-car Kitsap and the 64-car Salish will provide service supported by Kitsap Transit’s passenger only ferry, Rich Passage 1 which carries 118 people.

This PO  ferry will provide two extra sailings during the morning and evening commutes.  The slower Salish carries 750 passengers and requires a longer transit so the 1:30 p.m. sailing from Seattle and the 3 p.m. sailing from Bremerton will be canceled this week. The Kitsap Transit PO Ferry sails from Pier 50 in Seattle and the passenger ferry terminal in Bremerton. PO sailings will be 6:20 a.m. and 7:55 a.m. from Seattle, 5:35 a.m. and 7:12 a.m. from Bremerton. Evening PO sailings will be  5:07 p.m. and 6:43 p.m. from

Seattle and 4:20 p.m. and 5:55 p.m. from Bremerton.

Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth: This route will be on a two boat schedule with the 124 car Issaquah and the 87-car Tillikum. This service will be supplemented with unscheduled sailings by the 34-car Hiyu.
