Repairs and plenty of them are being carried out on the Peninsula Princess Ferry in Millidgeville.
The work is taking place in Lunenberg at a cost of half a million dollars. 
Some of the work includes a new propeller, sand blasting and paint.
Spokesperson with the Department of Transportation Andrew Holland tells CHSJ News, the 24 vehicle ferry is 20-years old and this work is necessary to keep her in running order. 
Holland adds depending on the weather, the vessel could be back in the water by early May.
