It was a rocky start to the season this year for Northumberland Ferries Ltd. when the MV Confederation had to wait for a piece of equipment and was out of service until early July. - Thinh Nguyen/SaltWire fileBehind the Scenes at One of Canada's Top Restaurants | SaltWireThe ferry being purchased to temporarily replace the MV Holiday Island between P.E.I. and Nova Scotia in 2024 will have almost the same vehicle capacity as the MV Confederation.
A Canadian Coast Guard boat heads out to the MV Holiday Island, a Northumberland Ferries Limited vessel that caught fire on July 22, 2022, and continued to burn on July 23. – SaltWire file “The vessel will be a great addition to the route due to its size, carrying capacity, amenities, speed, maneuverability and sea keeping characteristics."In a phone conversation on Aug. 24, Wilson said there was not much more he could say because Public Services and Procurement Canada, on behalf of Transport Canada, has published an advance contract award notice to signal the government’s intention to purchase the Fanafjord.
“I wish it hadn’t taken years for good ideas like this to take root but I’m glad that they finally have,’’ Compton said. “In fact, this very vessel could have been purchased as early as 2016 so a lot of anxiety and economic hardship could have been avoided had the federal government acted with greater urgency sooner.’’
