Technical Specifications
Overview
MV Chenega is a catamaran ferry built by Derecktor Shipyards in Bridgeport, Connecticut for the Alaska Marine Highway System. She was launched in 2004 and primarily served routes in Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska. The ship proved uneconomical to operate on those routes, and she was laid up in 2016. In March 2021 she was sold to Servicios y Concesiones Maritimas Ibicencas for service between Mallorca and Menorca. In 2025 her Spanish owners reassigned her to a route crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the single component we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
Commercial
Price it in the Route Planner between any two commercial ports: ballast and laden legs, two fuels at live bunker prices, port and canal costs, the weather on the way, and the TCE set against the market.
