The ferry service between Saint John, N.B., and Digby, N.S., will be out of commission for nearly two months due to mandatory work in Quebec.
The MV Fundy Rose will go to the Verreault Shipyard at Les Méchins, Que., for biannual drydock and refit work, according to a news release from Bay Ferries Limited. The work will put the ferry out of service from Oct. 15 to Dec. 3.
The vessel’s final crossing before the work will be from Saint John to Digby at 8 a.m. on Oct. 15.
