The ferry M/V Klickitat was repaired Tuesday night and will return to service Wednesday afternoon, state ferry officials said this morning.

Ferry sailings will start at 2:15 p.m. from Port Townsend.

The Klickitat was pulled from service on Monday after an inspection by the state ferry system and the Coast Guard. Water was found seeping through the hull of the ferry on Saturday.

Ferry officials initially said there was no timeline for resuming service on the Keystone-Port Townsend run. But Todd Shipyard in Seattle made repairs overnight Tuesday, and work was finished this morning.

“Testing was successful and the vessel crews are preparing for transit from Seattle to Port Townsend,” said Traci Brewer-Rogstad, director of marine operations for Washington State Ferries.

The crack found in the vessel was 6 inches long, and a 3-inch-long crack extended up the bulkhead of the Klickitat. A portion of the hull plating was replaced, and the state said the total cost of repairs will be roughly $50,000.

The Klickitat is a 256-foot-long car/passenger ferry that was built in 1927 and extensively rebuilt in 1981.

It can carry a maximum of 617 passengers and 64 vehicles, and has space for 24 commercial vehicles.
