Marine and Ports staff are to meet tomorrow at 10am at the Bermuda Industrial Union, according to union president Chris Furbert.

The Department of Marine and Ports this afternoon confirmed that staff would be meeting, adding: “The meeting is expected to last approximately one hour and a minimum disruption of service is anticipated.”

According to sources at the department, tomorrow’s meeting is linked to a long simmering issue with the director, Richard Russell.

In recent years, unionised workers have voiced concerns over a disconnect with management at the service.

The news came after the department advised the public that the Pink Route ferry service to Paget and Warwick would be suspended from 4pm today.

The Blue Route 10pm service from Hamilton to Dockyard will also be suspended tonight. All other services are running according to the published schedule.

The department, which did not state the cause behind tonight’s service suspensions, apologised for the inconvenience.
