The State Department of Transportation yesterday (Monday) announced that it has selected Ketchikan-based Alaska Ship and Drydock as the construction manager and general contractor for the new Alaska Class Ferry. As KRBD’s Deanna Garrison reports, the announcement is being hailed by Ketchikan officials who have aggressively lobbied the state to build the new ferries in Ketchikan.
