JTA said they were able to complete most of the Coast Guard-required maintenance that was scheduled to happen next year.

JTA said this is expected to greatly reduce the time needed for scheduled maintenance.

Officials said they’re working with HMS Ferries to investigate the incident and will share the findings with the public to ensure transparency and accountability.
