    Problems with the lubrication system onboard Marine Atlantic’s newest vessel the Ala’suinu may put a wrench into plans for the first run expected to be on June 14th. The ferry has been undergoing regulatory certifications and reviews of its operating system. In recent days, technicians identified an unforeseen issue with the lubrication system. Unfortunately, at this time, the Corporation is unable to confirm the impact on the Ala’suinu’s original enter service date of June 14.
