Delays in ferry sailings throughout the afternoon are expected.

Washington State Ferries said the ferry “experienced a propulsion problem” and hit the dock.

The route will be served soley by the M/V Tacoma, which is limited to 1,200 passengers.

The ferry Wenatchee is being kept at the Bainbridge terminal until it is inspected.

WSF described the the impact with the dock as a “bump” and said no one aboard the vessel was injured.
