The Olympic-class are roll-on/roll-off ferries designed for Washington State Ferries (WSF), a government agency in the U.S. state of Washington. They are the newest class in the WSF fleet and intended to replace the Evergreen State-class ferries that are near retirement age. The ferry design is based on the Issaquah-class ferries which have proven to be the most reliable and versatile in the fleet. The Olympic-class ferries are designed to serve all routes and terminals in the Washington State Ferries system.[1] All vessels were built in Washington as required by state law since July 2001.[2]
