An unprecedented streak of mechanical breakdowns, and more recently ferry service that is running chronically late, are expected to top the agenda when the Steamship Authority holds its monthly meeting on the Vineyard Monday.

The meeting begins at 10 a.m. in the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven. The meeting was moved from New Bedford given the recent spate of prolonged problems on the Vineyard-Woods Hole route.

“We will be giving an update on what has taken place and what steps are being taken to address the problems,” boat line general manager Bob Davis told the Gazette Thursday.

Last month the SSA saw three straight weeks of crippling breakdowns and unprecedented disruptions in service on the Vineyard route, when the ferries Martha’s Vineyard and Woods Hole were repeatedly pulled from service to address a series of mechanical problems.

On top of that, the ferry Island Home was delayed in her return from drydock, leaving the boat line with only two freight boats on the Vineyard route for a time.

Recently boats have been running late due to construction on one of the slips in Woods Hole, leaving just one slip in use.

Vineyard governor Marc Hanover has called for an independent review of boat line operations.
