The fault with one of the four gearboxes has been disrupting services since the end of July, which resulted in the boat operating on reduced power.
It has led to journey times taking 3 hours instead of 2 and a half.
The damaged components of the failed gearbox are currently under repair at the manufacturer’s workshop in Germany.
Steam Packet Chief Executive Mark Woodward has said the fault in the gearbox is extremely disappointing as all four gearboxes were overhauled and serviced last winter.
