BAY FERRIES LOSE SAILINGS

摘要

Despite being forced to cancel more than 25 per cent of scheduled sailings between Portland, Maine and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia due to engine problems with 106.5m catamaran Alakai, Bay Ferries still managed to carry more passengers in 2017 than during their 2016 Bay of Fundy route debut season. Built in 2007, the Austal craft, running on charter from the US Military Sealift Command as The Cat, handed 41,463 passengers between the end of May and 15 October, a 17 percent increase from a 35,500 total in 2016.
