Is there any other ferry service in the entire UK that gets reported on national news every time one of their ships has a technical fault and has to cancel bookings?

100,000 islanders. 42 ferries. 4 on the way. 1 per 2,000+ islanders. They are not going back and forward all the time. It’s mainly visitors on holiday. They are not in a great hurry. Part of their holiday.
Workman organise their trips. If there is a hold up or bad weather. They reorganise.
