Ketchikan Car Shipping

Ketchikan Car Shipping to the First Port North of Seattle

Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Ketchikan, the island town at the bottom of the Southeast panhandle, where the ships from Puget Sound make their first Alaska stop, the one road runs thirty miles along the shore and ends at both ends, the houses climb the hill on stairs and boardwalks, the Coast Guard base sits south of town, the cruise ships fill the waterfront from May to September, and it rains more than anywhere else in the state. Your car rides with a licensed, insured carrier we vet before it is assigned, and then with an ocean carrier or the Marine Highway on a booked sailing.

A Ketchikan move is a Southeast move, and we say so first: the island has no road to anywhere, so the car sails from Puget Sound to Ketchikan directly or rides the state ferry, and we route by destination and price the sailing before booking rather than quoting the Anchorage lane. The truck brings the car to the terminal in Tacoma or Seattle, the Southeast sailing is the shortest in Alaska because Ketchikan is the first stop, and the car is collected at the dock or delivered along the Tongass Highway. Coast Guard families reporting on orders, hires at the hospital and the shipyard on a start date, seasonal workers arriving for the cruise season, and households heading back south are the shipments we see most. The road takes the truck to the door where the house fronts it; a hill street of stairs meets it below at the dock, agreed at booking, in any weather, because the rain never moves a sailing.
