Credit Hope McKenney/KUCB Ports along the Aleutian Chain between Homer and Unalaska will see only five visits of the ferry Tustumena this summer, down from the twice-monthly service that was the norm through 2019. On Wednesday, the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) released its summer schedule, which covers state ferry travel from May through September. The M/V Tustumena is scheduled to sail only once per month, or a total of five times, along the Aleutian route. This lighter schedule is on par with last year's calls to Unalaska, according to Ports Director Peggy McLaughlin. Prior to 2020, AMHS had been calling on the island twice monthly May-September, with an occasional early October call.
