OT - Fast Ferries These things really go fast -- up to 41 mph! They connect towns with no road acess (such as Juneau, Sitka, and Cordova) to the rest of the state. The cost varies widely depending on the season and whether you bring a vehicle. Fare and schedule info can be found here: dot.state.ak.us The M/V Chenega will sail in the Prince William Sound area of south-central Alaska, connecting the ports of Cordova, Valdez, and Whittier. The first vessel, the M/V Fairweather, will travel between Juneau and Sitka, Haines and Skagway in southeast Alaska. Designed by the naval architecture firm of Nigel Gee & Associates, of Southampton, England, each of the vessels is 235 ft. (72 m) long, carries 250 passengers and 35 cars (or a combination of cars, trucks, and RVs), and travels at speeds up to 36 knots (41 miles per hour). The vessels employ a catamaran (twin-hull) design of lightweight aluminum construction. They are powered by four MTU medium-speed diesel engines, each driving a Kamewa waterjet propulsor. dot.state.ak.us
