A lifeboat on the deck of the Columbia ferry in May. (Photo courtesy of the Alaska Marine Highway System) Week of canceled sailings for repairs means longer vehicle wait lists, officials say. The Columbia ferry is scheduled to resume normal service Wednesday after docking in Ketchikan for a week for repairs, but the resulting cancellation of trips means there will be a backlog — particularly for vehicles — for people seeking space on the ferry that travels between Southeast Alaska and Bellingham, Washington, according to officials.
