Ferry service resumes Thursday after technical issue Wednesday

Northumberland Ferries says service resumes Thursday after a technical issue with the MV Northumberland, its newest vessel, forced the cancellation of some crossings Wednesday.  Northumberland Ferries cancelled Wednesday’s 3:15pm sailing from Wood Islands, as well as the 5:00pm from Caribou and 6:30pm from Wood Islands.  There was an issue with the bow visor on the MV Northumberland – which is the large door that moves up to allow vehicles on and off the vessel.  The technical issue meant that some passengers who were onboard the MV Northumberland’s 11:45am crossing from Wood Islands were stuck on the vessel for several hours before eventually having to dock again in Wood Islands and disembark.
