Ala'suinu Ferry Faces Delay Due to Technical Difficulties
On October 7, 2024, the ferry 'Ala'suinu' encountered mechanical issues that resulted in a significant delay for its scheduled departure. Originally slated to depart from Port aux Basques at 11:45 a.m., the sailing was rescheduled to 4 p.m. This was not the first hiccup for the vessel; a prior sailing on October 5 at 11:15 p.m. was postponed to the following day at 8:00 a.m. because of issues with the ramp failing to close properly.
