    Marine Atlantic is facing more delays in getting their newest vessel the Ala’suinu in to service. International experts continue to work around the clock to clean debris from the vessel’s fuel and lubrication system, which has been ongoing for the past three  weeks. They hope to find a resolution, but with port trials needed, some uncertainty remains. As a result, Argentia crossings up to July 10 will be cancelled and re-routed through Port aux Basques. Additional crossings have been added.
