Northumberland Ferries Vice-President Don Cormier said they’re hoping to reunite the evacuees with their vehicles either Sunday evening or Monday. The company will make arrangements to ship them to those who had since travelled out of the area.The ferry underwent a mandated annual inspection in May.It’s believed the fire sparked in the engine room, but crews haven’t accessed the source yet.
“We have not entered the engine room spaces and don’t expect to do so until a thorough assessment is done on the stability of the ship,” Cormier says.Ferry service on the route has preemptively been cancelled for Monday, with hopes to get the remaining ferry back on schedule Tuesday.“It was a lot of people coming together. Staying calm and doing the right thing. Nobody freaked out, nobody got hurt,’ he says.
