    Unfortunately, at this time, the Corporation is unable to confirm the impact on the Ala’suinu’s original enter service date of June 14.

    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. Marine Atlantic is working closely with the ship’s owner, Stena North Sea Ltd., to identify and correct items as quickly as possible. An update on the status of the vessel will be provided this week.
