Nearly two dozen New York Waterway ferries were suspended over the past week due to inspection failures, but the company said Sunday it doesn’t appear the Monday morning commute will be affected.

Twenty-three of 32 vessels were found to be “operationally unfit" after inspectors discovered damage or discrepancies over the last two weeks “significant enough to warrant a suspension of service,” the United States Coast Guard said in a statement.

The Coast Guard inspected the Waterway’s entire operational fleet, including 21 vessels alone on Saturday, the statement says.

Customers may experience minor, 10-minute delays at the Port Liberte and Harborside routes in Jersey City on Monday, said Patrick Smith, spokesman for New York Waterway. No other routes will be affected by the suspensions, he said.

Eight ferries were reinspected and put back into service by Sunday, he said.

“Most will not experience any delays. We apologize to customers that are inconvenienced,” he said.

Capt. Jason Tama, commander of Coast Guard Sector New York, said the Coast Guard is working with New York Waterway, a private transportation company, to return all the ferries to service.

“The safety of the public is our top priority, and we expect our ferry operators to uphold the highest standards,” said Capt. Jason Tama, commander of Coast Guard Sector New York. “We know many people rely on these ferries for daily commutes, and as these discrepancies are rectified, we will work with New York Waterway to return these ferries to operations as quickly as possible.”
