Summary

At the steel-cutting ceremony, WSF's program lead said the agency and Eastern executed a change order that adds a third vessel to the contract; transcript does not provide contract number, price or procurement specifics.

Washington State Ferries announced at the ceremony that it and Eastern Shipbuilding Group executed a change order that adds a third vessel to their existing contract.

"I also am proud to announce that Washington State Ferries and Eastern Shipbuilding Group this morning executed the change order that officially adds the 3rd vessel to this contract," David Sowers said. The transcript does not include contract numbers, the change order cost or procurement approvals tied to that action.

Officials described the change order as a milestone that "solidifies our path forward, supports active construction, and keeps our program steadily moving ahead," but they did not provide budgetary specifics in the remarks. The change order will be subject to routine contract documentation and oversight outside the remarks recorded at the ceremony.
