Service was still suspended today. I asked the NYC Ferry operator:

The Roosevelt Island NYC Ferry landing is suspended again.

Last Friday and continuing to date it has been out of service due to mechanical issues.

When do you anticipate the Ferry resuming Roosevelt Island ferry service? What is the mechanical issue and is it the same one that caused Roosevelt Island ferry service suspension earlier last week?...

A NYC Economic Development Corp spokesperson replied today:

NYC Ferry is working diligently to restore Roosevelt Island service as quickly as possible. Commuters should follow NYC Ferry for immediate updates. We apologize for any inconvenience to riders.

According to NYC Ferry:

The issue that led us to close the landing for a few hours last week is the same issue that came up this weekend: there is a small amount of wiring on the landing that we need to replace. We anticipate that we will be able to make this repair in the next couple of days, allowing us to re-open the landing shortly after.

UPDATE 1/12:

Service Alert - Landing Restoration - 1/12/2022

Service to the Roosevelt Island ferry landing has been restored.

Thank you for your patience.

NYC Ferry
