Whoops: Silverliner V Shipping Issues

The Silverliner V cars have run into some shipping issues. Matt Mitchell from the DVARP sent this in:

The ship that was supposed to bring the three Silverliner V pilot cars over from Korea had a docking incident and is going to be out of service several days for repairs. Thus the cars are gonna be delayed getting here. 

This is not SEPTA's first shipping-related delay. Transportation of the N-5 Norristown car shells from Portugal to the USA was delayed when the government called on the Merchant Marine for sealift of materiel needed for Operation Desert Storm.

Hopefully this won't mean any serious delays for getting the Silverliner Vs into service.
