Leif Ericson Temporarily Out Of Service

Marine Atlantic says the Leif Ericson ferry will likely be out of service for a few days to deal with a problem that requires specialized services from divers.

The Crown Corporation says it isn’t expecting it to be a lengthy repair or to have any long-term effects on the vessel.

The ferry MV Highlanders is taking the Leif Ericson’s place in the schedule while it’s out for repairs.

Marine Atlantic says this means the Ala’suinu, the Blue Puttees and the Highlanders will be in operation until the Leif Ericson returns to service.
