The Grand Manan ferry is operating using a smaller backup vessel for six weeks while the Grand Manan Adventure undergoes a scheduled drydock refit. Coastal Transport Limited operates the ferry routes connecting Deer Island, Grand Manan, and White Head Island. The refit is required by Transport Canada and the vessel’s classification society to ensure compliance and safety.
