Grand Manan Adventure Wrapping Up Summer Service


It's that time of year.....time to dock the Grand Manan Adventure as the summer tourist season wraps up.

The Province and Coastal Transport preparing to take the new ferry out of service.
It may seem as if she just got here because she did..the new 82-car, 65-million dollar ferry took its maiden voyage back on August 11th.

Coastal Transport's Murray Ryder says the ferry must be drydocked for more repairs
to one of the bow thrusters.  That will start on the 11th for about 10 days and the work is covered under the warranty.
The work will not result in any interruptions in ferry service for passengers travelling between Blacks Harbour and Grand Manan.
