Ferry Feasibility for Aleutian Travel | Anchorage News

Unalaska’s City Council is backing a bold new idea: a temporary ferry from Cold Bay to Unalaska during January’s critical pollock fishing season, aimed at solving the chaos caused by weather-delayed flights that strand workers, families, and students for weeks. Proposed by UniSea, the plan would fly seafood crews to Cold Bay and then ferry them to Dutch Harbor — with the Alaska Marine Highway System already asked to station the Kennicott there for a week. The resolution calls for a feasibility study to explore seasonal ferry options, potentially expanding to other Aleutian Islands, to boost island living and reduce travel headaches.
