At the end of the season, the Gry Maritha went into docks for repairs before the Scillonian III can go into dry docks for the winter.
A small fire broke out in the wheelhouse of the Gry whilst it was undergoing repairs in the dry docks in Penzance this week. This is thought to have delayed the process sligtly. It is not known how the fire started.
Repairs are due to be completed by the time the Scillonian is due to go out of service for the winter. This is scheduled to happen on 17 November.
