N.S.-P.E.I. ferry service to return in December

It looks like the Nova Scotia-to-PEI ferry will be back in service next month.

Northumberland Ferries says the MV Confederation is due back on December 6 after repairs to the bow visor are completed.

It will make four round-trips a day until the season ends on December 20.

The company explored if the vessel could sail without the bow visor, but found it would create a safety risk.

The vessel collided with a dolphin structure at a wharf on the PEI-side in September.

The company says mechanical failure was not a factor, and the investigation is continuing.
