MV Saaremaa out of service for the rest of the season [Video]

Northumberland Ferries Limited (NFL) says one of the ferries operating between Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island is out of service for the rest of the season.

MV Saaremaa 1 was pulled out of service in September after issues with two of its four main engines.

Additional mechanical issues were found in one of the main engines on Friday.

“Due to these issues, MV Saaremaa 1 will not be returning to service at NFL this season,” said NFL’s general manager Jeff Joyce in a Monday news release.

“The vessel is continuing to progress main engine repairs, and once the engine repairs are complete, MV Saaremaa 1 will be prepped for its return voyage to Quebec, likely at the end of October.”

NFL says repairs to MV Confederation’s bow visor “continues to progress well.”
