CRUISE lines sign port agreements

Gov. Mike Dunleavy on Thursday announced that the state, several Southeast Alaska communities and Norwegian Cruise Line have signed a multi-port agreement in accordance with requirements by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, bringing the likelihood of large ships carrying passengers to the state in 2021 closer to reality. The large ships have been unable to operate in Alaska’s waters since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the industry in early 2020. The port agreements required by the CDC are the second big challenge for cruise lines to meet, after the U.S. Passenger Vessel Services Act recently was temporarily waived through bipartisan effort at the federal level. That waiver was approved by Congress in the past week, allowing large ships to bypass a Canadian stop as previously was required by law. The PVSA prevented visits to Alaska from other U.S. states by large ships due to the closure of Canadian ports through February 2022.

FAST ferries and Red Zed I now set to depart Ward Cove April 23 at earliest

The former Alaska Marine Highway System fast ferries Fairweather and Chenega will not leave Ketchikan until April 23 at the earliest due to material and logistical problems, a member of the Ward Cove Group confirmed on Friday. The Ward Cove Group has overseen some aspects of the transfer under the direction of the owners of the vessels, member Stephen Bradford explained in a Friday afternoon phone interview with the Daily News. The Alaska Department of Transportation on March 10 agreed to the sale of the ferries to the Spanish company Servicios y Concesiones Maritimas Ibicencas S.A., for a combined $5.17 million. The company is based on the Spanish island of Ibiza, in the Mediterranean Sea.
