On Jan 26, 2025, the 'Northumberland' (formerly the Elbe ferry 'Fanafjord') arrived in Pictou. The ferrywill serve the Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island to Caribou, Nova Scotia route. She was acquired by the Government of Canada as an interim solution to replace the former 'Holiday Island'. The vessel will now undergo final refit work to prepare for service. This vessel allows for a safe and reliable two-vessel service between Woods Islands, Prince Edward Island, and Caribou, Nova Scotia. The 'Northumberland' is expected to be ready for service for the beginning of the 2025 operating season.
