Marine Atlantic was forced to cancel today’s and Saturday’s flights between Argentia and North Sydney, Nova Scotia.
The corporation says the disruption to the schedule is due to a mechanical problem with one of the Highlanders ferry’s engines.
Marine Atlantic says the cancellation will see more traffic diverted to the shorter Port aux Basques route, although it will increase driving times across the province.
They say support teams have discovered the issue and are working to fix it as quickly as possible.
Affected customers will be rebooked on the next available Argentia sailing.
However, those wishing to rebook the Port aux Basques run should contact Marine Atlantic’s reservations department at 1-800-341-7981 or email tourcommercial@marineatlantic.ca.
