From the meeting
At its October 23, 2026 meeting, AMHOB unanimously supported recommending a feasibility study for seasonal passenger service from Cold Bay to Unalaska and ports in between for workforce transportation. The minutes said AMHS did not have the vessels, funding, or crew to provide the service now, and service could become possible once the replacement vessel arrives about 2031. The board also said the request was for analysis only, not a specific vessel, schedule, or funding.
