Pink Route Ferry Service Suspended For Repairs
The Department of Marine and Ports Services has suspended Pink Route ferry service due to “urgent repairs” required on the vessel.
A Government spokesperson said, “The Department of Marine and Ports Services advises that urgent repairs are required on the ferry serving the Pink Route. Ferry service is suspended until further notice.
“Marine & Ports Services apologises to the public for this service interruption and any inconvenience it may cause.”
Some things just do not change.
Ridiculous amounts of money spent on senseless overseas trips, yet our transport system is screwed.
Got that right Joe.
Fishing boats can do this route.
Bring back Cecil………….
The Government has what, three of those boats and none of them run??? Hope that we are not paying crews to sit around and do nothing since the boats don’t work.
There is plenty of rust to chip and painting to be done.
What’s wrong with using one of the smaller fast ferries?
What is wrong with properly maintaining ferries in the first place?
The fast ferries embark and disembark on the bow and use special ramps that have been built at their stops. I’m not sure if they can safely board and leave on the sides , plus the pink route consists of very small docks (possible exception Darrell’s Wharf) that are near impossible to safely bring a fast ferry alongside of .
What is the Pink Route… where does it run between?
Hamilton-Salt Kettle-Darrell’s Wharf-Belmont
