BREMERTON — Kitsap Transit said it will be removing the vessel Admiral Pete from Foot Ferry service Wednesday, Jan. 4 for required maintenance.

The Rich Passage 1 will operate Port Orchard-Bremerton service and the Carlisle II will operate Annapolis service.

The Carlisle II cannot keep up with the current published schedule and will operate 1/2 hour service departing Annapolis at 6 a.m., 6:30 a.m., 7 a.m., 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m.. To accommodate passenger loads, an extra crew member will be put aboard the Carlisle II. That vessel can carry up to 140 passengers.
