MV Chenega is a catamaran ferry built by Derecktor Shipyards in Bridgeport, Connecticut for the Alaska Marine Highway System. She was launched in 2004 and primarily served routes in Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska. The ship proved uneconomical to operate on those routes, and she was laid up in 2016. In March 2021 she was sold to Servicios y Concesiones Maritimas Ibicencas for service between Mallorca and Menorca. In 2025 her Spanish owners reassigned her to a route crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.
