“We’re at risk of shutting the Hubbard down this next week because we can’t get another licensed engineer onboard,” Alaska Marine Highway System director Craig Tornga told its operations board Friday. (via AlaskaBeacon)
Cars drive aboard the Alaska Marine Highway System ferry Hubbard on June 25, 2023, in Haines.
This summer, Alaska’s ferry system is running only six of its nine available ships; two have been laid up for mechanical work, and the oceangoing ferry Kennicott has been sidelined because there aren’t enough trained crew to operate it. “AMHS as a whole still has some serious payroll issues going on, which is hampering our ability to recruit and keep people,” said Capt. Keith Hillard, a member of the ferry system’s operations board.
