New Ferry Still Down

The brand new Grand Manan ferry is still docked after both thrusters would not come on during it's morning run yesterday.

General Manager for Coastal Transport Murray Ryder tells CHSJ News staff and local electricians were not able to figure out the problem.

He says a representative from the company that attached the thrusters will be coming to Blacks Harbour today to evaluate the problem.
 
There is no estimate as to how long the ship will be out of service.

He adds they are currently running 2 ferries in order to meet their schedule and motorists should not expect any major delays.
