Repairs have nearly been completed to the state ferry Chetzemoka (chet-za-moh-kah), which had its hull dented last month while in drydock at Vigor Shipyards in Seattle.

The Kitsap Sun reports (http://bit.ly/WMoqvV) the shipyard took responsibility for the accident and made repairs at no cost to taxpayers.

The 64-car ferry could be back on the water Wednesday, but it needs three more weeks of maintenance at Eagle Harbor before returning to service on the Point Defiance-Tahlequah route.
