Ferry Blue Route to Resume Tomorrow
The Department of Marine and Ports has provided an update on the suspended ferry service, with the Director of Marine and Ports, Francis Richardson, confirming that there will be ferry service on the Blue Route commencing tomorrow [Oct 1].
This includes commuter service to Cavello Bay, Watford Bridge and Dockyard. The Pink Route (Harbour/Warwick/Paget) remains in service.
The Department of Marine and Ports said they “would like to take this opportunity to extend its apologies for any inconvenience caused to the public, particularly to those residents who use the ferries as their primary mode of transportation.”
Following Union action on Sept 28th, ferry operators moved to suspend commuter service until further notice. Bernews understand workers are said to be displeased with various maintenance issues. It is the second strike in two weeks by public transportation workers, following the strike by bus drivers last week.
The only safety issue I have ever seen with the ferries is that the Pilots have been drunk!
