A new report reveals bacterial and fungal growth in the ferry’s fuel filtration system caused the vessel to lose power and steering control in April.
SEATTLE — A new report from the Washington State Ferries revealed the Walla Walla ferry ran aground in April due to contaminated fuel, caused by bacterial and fungal growth that overwhelmed the vessel’s fuel filtration system.
The black water-based sludge was found in the vessel’s two-day fuel tanks supplying fuel to the main generator. Washington State Ferries is now using more biocide to limit bacterial and fungal growth, according to Ian Sterling, public information officer for WSF. The agency has also cleaned the fuel system and sealed off air sources of the tank.
