Northumberland Ferries Update:

The repair work on MV Confederation's bow visor continues to progress well. NFL has conducted a comprehensive internal risk assessment to identify and mitigate potential hazards associated with operating without the bow visor. As a result of that, NFL has engaged the Classification Society and Transport Canada Marine Safety and Security to determine if the vessel could be safely operated and how risks and hazards could be mitigated to ensure passenger safety. If the process is not successful, MV Confederation’s return to service remains 9 December 2024.
