IMPORTANT NEWS

We wanted to address some recent concerns regarding the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) and ferry service to Prince Rupert. In cases where false information circulates on social media, we believe it's essential to respond with the facts.

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹: We'd like to clarify that AMHS has not closed its Prince Rupert terminal. We remain committed to resuming ferry service to Prince Rupert when our resources allow.

𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗔𝗦: The M/V Kennicott has not lost its SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) certification. The ship is built to SOLAS standards, and there is no such thing as a SOLAS "license." Safety remains a paramount concern, and our vessels undergo regular inspections and maintenance to ensure compliance.

𝗠/𝗩 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘀𝗸𝗮:: We appreciate your patience as we work on assessing the M/V Matanuska. The 60-year-old vessel will be scheduled for a hull scan to help AMHS determine the best path forward. Rest assured, we are committed to maintaining the safety and reliability of our fleet.

We understand your concerns and value your support as we continue to provide vital transportation services to Alaskan communities. If you ever come across false information about AMHS, know that we'll be here to set the record straight with the facts.
