Port Orchard Intermodal Ferry Terminal

Art Anderson Associates provided all overwater design for the Port Orchard Intermodal Terminal, which includes the design of a new passenger only ferry terminal and transit transfer facility that is accessible to the handicapped. The terminal serves Kitsap Transit's Bremerton-Port Orchard passenger ferry route, and is the berthing location for the agency's ferries and Kitsap Harbor Tours vessels.
The concept design phase included the selection of float and pier types, float moorage systems and access to the floats and boats. Constraints included minimizing shading of the water, providing access through a 20-foot tidal range to people who have difficulty with stairs or steep ramps, waters unprotected from the wind (from the north) and the ability to build the facility without shutting down ferry service or impacting the adjoining guest moorage.
The Port Orchard ferry has no terminal employees, so access had to be provided without assistance at all tidal ranges. A system of ramps and an elevator were both studied as a means of providing handicap access with the elevator being viewed as far superior to the ramps. Follow-on work included a retrofit of the terminal's fendering system to reduce wear and tear on the historic ferry Carlisle II.
