ISThe ferry Baldur has been operating in the Breiðafjord area for about a month after completing its last scheduled route between Stykkisholm, Flatey, and Brjanslakur. On June 8, Baldur began sailing to Vestmannaeyjar following the failure of another main engine in Herjólfs. This decision has been criticized by local municipalities, tourism authorities, and others. The connection over Breiðafjord has been maintained with minimal delays, and the service record of Baldur has been very good, with the tourism authority preparing fully for the summer season. Gerður Björk Sveinsdóttir, mayor of Vestur
