Mersey Ferries has issued a statement after all services on the river were suspended. Services remain suspended today, Monday, May 11, due to “mechanical issues”. In a statement on its social media pages, the team, which is part of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority<\/a>, said: “Due to mechanical issues, services are currently suspended.<\/p>\n

“Our evening commuter services will not operate today. Customers can use Merseyrail<\/a> services between Liverpool James Street and Hamilton Square to connect with bus replacement services to Seacombe and vice versa.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for your patience as our teams work to restore a full service.”<\/p>\n

The commuter ferry service operates each weekday between the Liverpool Gerry Marsden ferry terminal at the Pier Head and Seacombe in Wirral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are also a number of cruise options available for tourists and sightseers.<\/p>\n
