PORT ANGELES — The MV Coho ferry is not for sale.
Ryan Burles, president and chief operating officer of Black Ball Ferry Line, which owns the iconic passenger ferry that connects Port Angeles and Victoria, dispelled rumors that the company is looking to sell.
“There is no truth to it,” Burles said Monday.
“If anything occurs, we will let you know.”
Burles said rumors about the Coho selling have swirled in the past, even before former owner Lois Acheson died in 2004.
Acheson left Oregon State University as the majority shareholder of Black Ball.
Since the shares are in a 10-year trust that began in 2005, the university can’t sell them until 2015.
