Another two of the ferry M/S Drotten’s trips to and from Gotland are cancelled, according to a press release from Destination Gotland.
Due to a technical fault, several departures have been canceled since Friday, affecting thousands of travelers. The idea was that the ferry would have been taken out of service until Tuesday, but now it is clear that the earliest it can be back in service is August 20.
“Almost all the yards are currently fully occupied and therefore it has taken a while to be able to repair the driveline. The ship needs to be dry-docked so that we can examine the propeller, and it is therefore difficult to know at the moment exactly how long the repair will take,” says Marcus Risberg, CEO of Destination Gotland, in the press release.
M/S Drotten, which is one of three Gotland ferries, operates the routes Visby–Nynäshamn and Visby–Oskarshamn.
