Discussion 

In accordance with 33 CFR 127.007, 

Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound 

received an LOI and WSA from 

Washington State Ferries on June 27, 

2014 regarding their proposal to convert 

six Issaquah Class Ferries to LNG 

propulsion. The LOI notes that if the 

conversion is completed, each vessel 

would require fueling by truck once 

every 7 to 10 days. 

Under 33 CFR 127.009, and in 

reference to the Coast Guard’s 

Navigation and Vessel Inspection 

Circular (NVIC) 01–2011, ‘‘Guidance 

Related to Waterfront Liquefied Natural 

Gas (LNG) Facilities,’’ the Coast Guard 

will be reviewing and validating the 

Washington State Ferries’ WSA in 

cooperation with key port stakeholders. 

In conjunction with the review and 

validation of the WSA, the Coast Guard 

seeks public comments on the proposal 

which may inform the COTP’s 

recommendation to the State of 

Washington Department of 

Transportation. Once the information in 

the WSA is validated, the COTP will 

issue an LOR to the State of Washington 

Department of Transportation regarding 

the suitability of the waterway for LNG 

marine traffic. 

The Washington State Ferries’ LOI, 

WSA, and other supporting 

documentation and information can be 

viewed at: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/

Ferries/Environment/LNG.htm. In 

addition, a copy of NVIC 01–2011 is
