Just like you getting a tune-up for your vehicle before the winter, two provincial ferries are being put up on the hoist as well so to speak. Fall maintenance is scheduled for the Deer Island Princess ferry and John E. Rigby. Work on the Deer Island got started on Sunday and is expected to finish this Sunday. Maintenance on the John E. Rigby is scheduled to last a week as well starting on the 18th.
The Island Hopper, an 18-vehicle replacement vessel will be used at both sites while maintenance work is carried out.
