There is a possibility Northumberland Ferries could have a second vessel making sailings between Nova Scotia and PEI by mid-August.

Northumberland Ferries confirmed Wednesday that a vessel owned by STQ, a ferry company in Quebec, left Trois Rivières, Quebec on Wednesday headed for Caribou with the potential to be an interim ferry replacement for Northumberland Ferries’ MV Holiday Island which was knocked out of service July 22nd by a fire in its engine room.

The MV Saaremaa 1 is to arrive in the next couple days and then it will undergo an evaluation and there may be some modifications that have to be made to the vessel itself or the shore infrastructure.
