The Wenatchee, one of Washington’s three biggest ferries, is set to be back into the WSDOT fleet this summer.
The ferry underwent various upgrades, including converting to a hybrid-electric power system, which will replace two of four diesel generators, WSDOT said in a release.
Other improvements include:
-
Building two new battery rooms and outfitting them with 864 battery modules
-
Installing thousands of feet of electric and fiber optic cable
-
painting much of the exterior of the ferry
-
Replacing vinyl on some seats
