Passengers were moved on to other services after a mechanical issue disrupted crossings, the latest in a series of Connemara faults this year.
Bluebridge has cancelled a return sailing after a mechanical fault affected its Connemara ferry.
A Bluebridge spokesperson said one return sailing had been cancelled on Friday.
“Passengers [were] rescheduled onto other sailings today while a mechanical fault was repaired.”
Connemara has experienced multiple faults in 2026, which led to cancellations and delays on the Cook Strait route.
This is a modal window.
