No injuries reported after fire breaks out on P.E.I.-Nova Scotia ferryCormier said the Canadian Coast Guard has been standing by the ship throughout the night and continues to monitor the situation. As well, a tugboat arrived late Friday night and has been standing by to assist, and Northumberland Ferries has mobilized an environmental response organization.
“Northumberland Ferries Limited deeply regrets the inconvenience this has caused to so many of our customers. We will continue to work with the affected customers to return them home as quickly as possible or to extend temporary accommodation,” he said. Cormier said it is “uncertain at this time if we will be able to recover vehicles and return them to their owners.” The ferry has a vehicle capacity of 155.
“We will separately and directly communicate with our customers concerning the ongoing status and support and care for our customers,” he said. He noted that service using the MV Confederation — the other vessel used for the ferry between the two provinces — remains suspended Saturday and Sunday, “with further updates to follow.”
