SAAREMAA I
Following an unexpected failure of a temporary repair on the 'Saaremaa', he ferry has been pulled from service, leaving no ferries othe roun te between Nova Scotia and P.E.I.m as the 'Confederation' is undergoing hull work in Pictou. There have been problems with two of the four main engines on the 'Saaremaa' this summer. A temporary fix was in place on one of them, and more-permanent repairs were being done on the other. In the meantime, the ship was running on just three engines. But the temporary fix failed during the vessel's last run on the evening of Sep 23, 2024, leaving the ferry with just two functioning engines. As a result, the vessel had to be tied up to fix the main engine that was already being repaired. Technicians from the company that manufactured the engine were already on board, when the second engine failed. The plan was to complete the permanent repair that was already underway, at which point the vessel would be able to run again within two or three days. On the morning of Sep 24, Northumberland Ferries cancelled all sailings until at least Sep 27.

Burgas
Gypsies from the poorest country in the EU - Bulgaria, have attempted to board unnamed motor vessel at Port of Burgas outer anchorage, Maritime.bg reported. The information has been confirmed by the authorities in the country. The regional governor of Burgas has appointed an urgent investigation into the so-called first piracy act in the Bulgaria's European waters. According to Maritime.bg, the attackers were not caught after their approach to the ship was detected by local services. An unknown number of gypsies are said to have sailed in a speedboat and had a ladder to board the unnamed motor vessel, under cover of the night ten days ago. A few years ago, the Libyan GNMT accused Bulgaria of supporting a "purely pirate act" when, under unknown and highly dubious circumstances, the company lost control of motor tanker BADR. The case unfolded again near Burgas. Report in Bulgarian: https://www.maritime.bg/75948-2/
