Dated events for this ship from every source Voydar holds, newest first. Each line names its source; derived items say how they were derived.

Owner, operator and manager changes found by comparing yearly EU MRV reports are dated to the reporting year ("during 2025"), not to a day. Port calls here are the most recent only; the full lists are further down.

Port calls

Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Voydar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.

About MENDOCINO

The M/V Mendocino is a passenger-only fast ferry operated by Golden Gate Ferries. The vessel is named after Mendocino County, one of the member counties of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District. The Mendocino was designed by In-Cat and built by Nichols Bros. It was the second catamaran placed into service by Golden Gate Ferry. On July 20, 2001, on its way to Larkspur from the shipbuilder in Washington, Golden Gate Ferry's second high-speed catamaran, M.V. Mendocino, made a stop to be christened in her home county at Noyo Harbor near Fort Bragg. On September 10, 2001, the M.V. Mendocino was placed into service between Larkspur and San Francisco. From December 2002 to December 2003, to ensure its long-term viability as substantial warranty work was required on the M.V.
