The company did not give the exact nature of the problem but said their engineers are already working on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, we do not have an answer as to what happened and how long it will take to fix the problem,\u201d a company statement said.<\/p>

The breakdown of the ferry, the main form of sea transport between the two islands, is likely to inconvenience hundreds of Barbudans who come to Antigua on weekends.<\/p>\n

The Barbuda Express says people wanting more information about booking should call its office at 560-7989\/764-2291.<\/p>

People who travel regularly on the ferry says it is not unusual for it to experience\u00a0problems from time to time.<\/p>\n
