Ferry suffered blown head gasket

Sailings between Kingston and Seattle have been canceled until further notice after the 'Reliance' suffered a blown head gasket on Aug 27, 2024, and woud be out of service until repairs have been completed. Mechanics were working to fix the engine issue. The 'Rich Passage 1' has been pulled from the Kingston-Seattle route to fill in for a broken vessel on the Bremerton-Seattle route. The ferries 'Enetai' and 'Commander' were taken off their routes after both suffering unanticipated failures in their jet propulsion system and weren’t anticipated to return to service for months. The 'Enetai' will be out of service until mid-November and the 'Commander' could be benched until early 2025, Without the backup ferries, sailings could be canceled on the Kingston and Southworth routes if one of the vessels fails. In this instance, the 'Rich Passage' will be taken from Kingston to cover for the failed Bremerton-Seattle ferry.
