Norcon Marine Services has been awarded a contract to provide service between Petit Forte and South East Bight with the MV Joseph M.
The Department of Transportation and Works said in a news release, the vessel has arrived in the province and is currently undergoing work to prepare it for this run. It is scheduled to join the provincial fleet in late February.
 Beginning Sunday, Jan. 13, Rencontre East and South East Bight will move to a weekly alternating schedule provided by the MV Northern Seal and a helicopter service. Each community will receive a week on-week off ferry service, with helicopter service offered when the respective community is without the ferry. This interim schedule will be in place until the MV Joseph M enters service.
The MV Hazel McIsaac, meanwhile, will leave Green Bay for annual refit on Thursday, Jan. 17. During the refit, service for Little Bay Islands and Long Island will be provided by the swing vessel, the MV Sound of Islay.
Current schedule information for all provincial ferry services can be found at:www.tw.gov.nl.ca/ferryservices/schedules/ or by calling 1-888-638-5454.

Hazel McIsaac headed for the docykyard?








Hazel McIsaac headed for the dockyard?


I found this on an internet site. What does this mean for Long Island. Refits, once the ferry is on dock, takes a considerable amount of time. What will be put in place, if anything, when this ferry leaves?
