During the scheduled refit of the Quinsam, an unexpected mechanical issue occurred with a critical engine component.

The Quinsam was expected to return to service on January 12, however, due to a supply chain issue related to equipment needed to complete the work, the refit will continue for approximately one more week.

The Quinitsa will continue to provide service on the Crofton – Vesuvius route.
