Three new catamaran ferries have been pulled from service on the busy Manly route after one suffered a steering failure and stopped within the intended path of a large cruise ship late on Monday.
The Fairlight experienced a steering failure near Fort Denison on Monday afternoon as it sailed from Manly to Circular Quay, resulting in it stopping in the path of the Coral Princess which was departing Sydney Harbour, according to two sources. A tug was also escorting the cruise ship. “When the Fairlight experienced a mechanical issue late [on Monday], a decision was made to also withdraw the Balmoral from service as a precaution,” it said.
“Customers will experience a similar timetable to normal [on Monday] evening and [on Tuesday] with interim arrangements put in place to service the Manly-to-Circular Quay route,” it said.
