Aweigh.
Washington State Ferries
, made native.
The Idea
Aweigh is an app for the largest ferry system in the United States, built with native frameworks. Every screen is designed for the device it's on, and for the way you actually use a ferry: a glance from the wrist when you're rolling up to the terminal, detail on the phone when you're planning a day around it.
Watch and iPhone.
The full schedule on the wrist, with live capacity, vessel tracking, and terminal cameras a tap away on the phone.
Go further on iPhone.
Live vessel positions and terminal cameras for when the wrist isn't enough.
Ferry Map
Live ferry positions across the Sound. Speed, heading, ETA, and which terminals they're tied to.
Cameras
WSDOT camera feeds can also be viewed, allowing you to see wait times before you arrive.
Delay cascades.
The official WSDOT app shows a basic ETA for an underway sailing, and leaves you to correlate vessel positions, alerts, and schedule pressure in your head. Aweigh does that math automatically.
When a vessel runs late enough on one sailing, that lateness propagates forward through its rotation, partially absorbed by scheduling slack. A custom server monitors vessel locations in an attempt to predict how the delays will cascade through the day.
Each sailing surfaces a tiered punctuality classification with banners like EXPECT 12m late or DEPARTED · ON TIME.
Experimental. Toggleable against raw WSF schedule.
