WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES FLEET MODERNIZATION
PRESENTED BY ERIC R. MORRISON AND BRIAN EVERT
Washington State Ferries (WSF) is a division of the Washington State Department of Transportation and is the largest ferry system in the United States in terms of fleet size. WSF operates 22 vessels that provide transportation to more than 11 million passengers annually. This has become critical transportation infrastructure for many island businesses and residents throughout the Puget Sound and San Juan island regions, who are greatly impacted by any delays or disruptions within the system.
Starting in the late 1990s, WSF began modernizing and replacing its aging fleet, which included authorizing the construction of several new vessels including the 2,500 passenger Jumbo Mark IIs, to the more recent 64-car (Kwa-di Tabil) and 144-car (Olympic) class ferries. This presentation will address the latter two classes of ferries from a general contractor's and project controls viewpoint. It will discuss some of the contractual and construction challenges faced by the project team, including how the ship construction work was organized, managed, and controlled in order to achieve WSF's requirements.
