Skagway has mitigation measures in place to catch falling rocks above its cruise ship dock. But one large rock, known locally as ship rock, could fall — and that scenario has cruise lines reconsidering their docking schedules.
One solution would still allow all scheduled ships to come to town this season, but it would mean shorter visits for some passengers.
“We have dual monitors we are going to have on it so we are comfortable,” Ryan said. “But some of the cruise lines are not.” “The cruise lines have indicated that there are certain days that they are going to hot berth,” Ryan said. “Which means one ship will come in early, be here for about six hours or so, it will pull off, and then the second ship will come in and be here from about two o clock until the evening.”
“They are ordering more bollards, trying to slide the ships back,” Ryan said. “They are talking about coming in and flipping around so that the port side goes to the dock. There is a whole bunch of conversations trying to cut those hot berths down — nobody wants it.”
