MV Coho ferry back on the job today after maintenance hiatus

In the adjacent photo, Black Ball Ferry Line workers Mike Barrett, left, and Glenn Lassus walk back to the ferry terminal after securing lines at the end of the pier as the newly painted MV Coho returns to Port Angeles on Tuesday after more than two weeks of maintenance in Anacortes.

During the vessel’s downtime at the Dakota Creek Industries Inc. dry dock, it also underwent an overhaul of the fuel tanks and fire pumps, replacement of floor plates, drive shaft maintenance and other routine repairs and service.

The 341-foot ferry resumes service to Victoria at 8:20 this morning, returning at 4 p.m.
