The ferry service is threatened by two new road links, the [[Callahan Bridge]] and [[Porter Tunnel]], both of which are under construction during events in the game. The possible obsolescence of the ferry service spurred union members to stage a strike that momentarily shut down ferry services, cutting Portland off from the rest of the city. It is only after assurances by the mayor's office that some of the worker returned to work (as depicted during "[[Driving Mr. Leone]]"), returning the ferry to normal service.

It is implied the ferry system was ultimately shut down following GTA Liberty City Stories, as little remains of the service during events in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], which is set three years later, in 2001. The Portland terminal is presumed to have been demolished for the Portland exit of the Porter Tunnel, and [[Phil's Army Surplus|a few warehouses]] were erected in place of the Staunton terminal.
