‘Technical issues' prompt cancellation of Northumberland Ferries crossings
The MV Confederation ferry is pictured docked in Pictou, N.S. (CTV Atlantic/Stephanie Tsicos) Four morning ferry crossings between Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have been cancelled Monday. Northumberland Ferries says 'ongoing technical issues aboard MV Confederation' have resulted in the cancellation of the 7:00, 8:30, 10:00 and 11:45 crossings from Wood Islands, P.E.I., and Caribou, N.S. 'We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,' reads a social media post from Northumberland Ferries. The ferry service across the Northumberland Strait has been inconsistent since a fire broke out in 2022 on board the route's long-standing ship, the MV Holiday Island, and damaged it beyond repair. The MV Saaremaa was called in to take over for the Holiday Island, but that vessel also had problems and had to be pulled from the water during the 2024 season. Meanwhile, the MV Confederation was taken out of service on Sept. 15 after it ran into a wharf. The trouble meant ferry service between the two provinces was sometimes halted entirely, forcing travellers to reroute and use the Confederation Bridge. There were also issues with the MV Confederation in 2023, resulting in service shutdowns. The federal government has since purchased the MV Northumberland to replace the MV Holiday Island. The ferry arrived in Pictou, N.S., in January. With files from The Canadian Press.
