Update: Steamship Authority Service Resumed

Update: The Steamship Authority resumed service this morning. All ferries are running on schedule.

The Steamship Authority will not be resuming service on Monday until the U.S. Coast Guard has had an opportunity to survey the waterways and determine they are suitable for navigation, the Steamship Authority announced Sunday.

"All ports in the region are currently closed to vessel traffic and will remain closed until the waterways, including Vineyard Sound and Nantucket Sound, have been surveyed for floating debris fields and it is has been determined that all 'aids to navigation' are in their proper positions," the Steamship Authority said.

The U.S. Coast Guard is planning to begin an overflight survey of the waterways at 6:30 a.m. on Monday.

The Steamship Authority wil issue a further travel advisory update as soon as the ports have been reopened by the U.S. Coast Guard or the Steamship Authority has received express permission from the Captain of the Port to resume service.

The Steamship Authority is advising its customers to check the  website for the latest updates and information as to when service is expected to resume.
