PORT TOWNSEND— The MV Salish was returned to service Thursday afternoon after it was repaired that morning.
The ferry on the Port Townsend-Coupeville route was back in service in time for its 2:45 p.m. sailing.
A problem with the rudder assembly was discovered during a safety check that morning which resulted in the cancelation of sailings scheduled for 8:45 a.m., 10:15 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.
Repair was completed at about noon, said Ian Sterling, Washington State Ferries spokesman.
It was examined by the Coast Guard before it went back into service.
The repair was unrelated to a propeller problem which caused a three-week delay in the beginning of summer service, Sterling said.
