ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – Marine Atlantic says repairs to a ferry that struck a wharf last month is complete and the vessel should return to service Tuesday.
The Blue Puttees was in drydock in Halifax after it damaged its bow when it ran aground in thick fog on July 31 while trying to leave Port aux Basques, N.L., for Cape Breton.

No injuries were reported among the 398 passengers and 91 crew members aboard, though they were stranded for several hours waiting for high tide to help move the ferry off the wharf.
Marine Atlantic says the Blue Puttees will depart Halifax today and travel to North Sydney, N.S., where it is expected to resume service to Port aux Basques, N.L., on Tuesday evening.
