Ferry suffered engine damage
An initial inspection after the 'Kaleetan' was removed from service on Dec 5, 2025, has confirmed significant engine damage to one of the engine cylinders. The damage occurred when one of the cylinder's four valves failed during operation.The vessel will remain unavailable for service during this week and possibly the following two. Operations, Planning and Customer Service personnel were looking at options for restoring a four-vessel service to the San Juans before the weekend, and currently the Anacortes/San Jan Island route was operating on three vessels.
Dock damaged in hard landing
The WSF 'Kaleetan' had a hard landing at Colman Dock which took the vessel and a slip at the Seattle ferry terminal out of service on April 4, 2022, at about 7:30 a.m. The ship was sailing from Bainbridge Island to Seattle when hte accident occured. Damage was caused to one of the wing walls, which are designed to guide vessels in to the terminal. No one was hurt. It was not clear if the weather contributed to the incident. As a standard practice after such an incident, crew members were screened for intoxicants. Shortly before 1 p.m., WSF said that the Kaleetan would return to service but said that analysis on the dock was ongoing. There were 8 or 10 broken pieces of wood that had be replaced. Both the Bremerton and Bainbridge ferry routes continued to operate by alternating use of the other slip at Colman Dock.
