Alaska Marine Highway System officials say the 45-year-old ship experienced some type of vehicle lift malfunction Sunday night when it was offloading in Seldovia.

Officials today say it's not clear when repairs will be completed or when the ferry will return to full service. However, it's expected to sail today to the shipyard in Seward for repair and inspection.
