An engine problem on the Steamship Authority ferry Nantucket led to trip cancellations on the Vineyard route last Thursday.
The issue arose with the cancellation of the 6 am departure from Vineyard Haven. Walk-on passengers were moved to the freight ferry Governor, while vehicle passengers were put in the standby line to be placed on a later boat.
The 7 am departure from Woods Hole and the 8:15 am departure from Vineyard Haven were also canceled. Steamship Authority communications director Sean Driscoll said it is uncertain when engine repairs will be completed.
Recent weather conditions have also brought some ferry cancellations, and numerous trips have been diverted from Oak Bluffs to Vineyard Haven.
More incompetence! Stuff breaks when you don’t do proper maintenance. Will there be anything left after Davis fails at everything for another 13 months? He needs to be gone yesterday.
Is it all Davis’ fault?
Does it go much deeper?
Is he better than his predecessor?
Should the SSA be disbanded?
I have been reading about the disasters of the Steamship authority for several years and it never affected that much until Thursday. We had to rent a car and be totally inconvenienced bottom line it cost me an extra $380 for Car Rental, island queen etc..
