LUDINGTON, MI – The S.S. Badger has canceled operations scheduled for Sunday due to ongoing mechanical repairs.
The ferry was expected to arrive in Ludington on Saturday night. However, after departing Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a mechanical issue arose, the ferry service said in a Facebook post.
The issue was identified and addressed allowing the ship to safely continue its cross-lake operation. Due to the late arrival, the evening departure to Manitowoc was canceled.
The ongoing issues carried into Sunday morning, forcing officials to cancel the 8:45 p.m. crossing Sunday night from Ludington to Manitowoc was also canceled.
“Lake Michigan Carferry apologizes for the unexpected delays and inconvenience to its passengers,” the Facebook post reads.
Those affected or have questions are asked to call reservationists at 800-841-4243 to make alternate travel arrangements.
