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 GOLDEN GATE

MV Golden Gate (previously MV Chinook) is a passenger-only fast ferry operated by Golden Gate Ferries. The vessel is the second passenger ferry to hold the name and was purchased from Washington State Ferries by the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (along with MV Snohomish) and entered service with Golden Gate Transit in May 2011 after a complete refit that began in late 2009. The vessel was built in 1999 to offer 30 minute ferry service from Bremerton to Seattle. The service ceased a few years later because of beach possible erosion along Puget Sound's Rich Passage. As the Chinook, the ferry had previously been mothballed at the WSF Shipyard at Eagle Harbor, Bainbridge Island for four years when she was placed on eBay for auction on February 20, 2008, with an asking price of $4.5 million (USD).
