Gudgel: Victoria Clipper carries between about 250,000 passengers
between Seattle and Victoria every year.
And so half of those would be pre-inspected, departing from Victoria to Seattle.
Pre-clearance, it would be very important for our customers
as they arrive in Seattle instead of having to disembark
and wait to go through Customs,
they'd be able to just free flow off of the vessel, grab their bags and go.
One of the things that we market here
is the ease of walking from one country to another.
One step from Seattle to Victoria and vice versa.
So anything that we can do to ease, make that transition easier
and more simple is to our benefit and that of our passengers.
