Service Notice: Skagway Ferry Terminal Repair Update Sept. 8th

Significant progress was made at the Skagway Ferry Terminal over the weekend, with crews completing repairs to all 19 anchor chains securing the terminal float.

On Monday, Hamilton Construction re-set the vehicle transfer bridge and passenger gangway, and electricians are on site restoring power to the float. The float and bridge are well aligned, and crews will continue monitoring float movement to determine whether any final adjustments are needed.

The terminal remains on track to reopen for ferry service on Thursday, September 10, pending completion of the remaining work and final operational checks. Hubbard and LeConte schedules will be updated accordingly from September 10th onwards.

This has been a substantial repair effort, and we appreciate the hard work of the crews, engineers, contractors, and AMHS staff who have worked together to safely restore the terminal.
