One year with no lost trips due to mechanical failure

— from Washington State Ferries —

Each year, we honor the vessel engine crews and Eagle Harbor Maintenance Facility personnel who achieve the highest level of fleet reliability. Over the past week, we presented our 2018 Customer Service Reliability Award to Kitsap, Puyallup,Tillikum and Yakima engine room crews.

The award goes to a ferry that reaches 100-percent mechanical reliability in a calendar year, which is no lost trips due to mechanical failure. In 2018, two other vessels achieved this goal: Sealth and Tokitae.

Thank you to everyone for your hard work and dedication to provide our customers with reliable service.
