The Robben Island Museum says its main ferry is out of action due to an electrical fault.

But alternative arrangements have been made for visitors. The ferry, the Sikhululekile, is expected to resume operations from tomorrow.

Technicians could not repair the faulty part and a new component had to be ordered.

Spokesperson Dennis Cruywagen says the problems were first reported during the last trip on Christmas Day.
