Kodiak Island June 2023 Service Schedule

What is a Service Area Playbook?

In an effort to provide current and relevant information specific to each of the communities served, this "playbook" is a go-to site for communities to view current service levels, vessel availability for the route (a factor of terminal compatibility and vessel characteristics), mitigation measures in place and as a way for DOT&PF to engage with communities on opportunities for service.

Please visit the main Reimagining AMHS page for more information on how the system is charting the course to reliable service through incremental phases of system improvement--starting with system stabilization and moving into recovery and full steam ahead to reliable service. The program page will also provide up-to-date reporting on metrics related to the core AMHS system health elements of crew, vessels, and budget.

What is the current service to my community?

  • Status Alerts: Users can subscribe for AMHS text updates for service level changes beyond those published in the schedule. For other updates and general information, visit our website.
  • Current Service Schedule: Click here to view the current service schedule, and refer to the Level of Service and Fleet Availability chart below.
  • Fleet Compatibility: Of the 9 vessels in the AMHS fleet, 2 (Aurora and LeConte) are compatible with the terminals and service needs of the Prince William Sound service area. Refer to the Level of Service and Fleet Availability charts below to see which vessels are currently serving your route.

What current mitigation measures are in place during the Stabilization Phase?

  • Fares: All fares will follow a flat rate pricing structure until further notice.
  • Policies: DOT&PF is establishing a formal policy for supporting alternative travel options during disruptions. This is informed by public comments received to date and future engagement.
  • Communications: Real-time text message updates will be developed to communicate where vessels are, and ship Wi-Fi will be installed for the crew first, then expanded to passengers.

What is next?

Recovering reliability will take time. As the course to this recovery is underway, engagement with the community will help strengthen future decision-making around allocating resources as they become available.
