Investigation into fire concluded

Fri Sep 29 11:56:16 CEST 2023 Timsen

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has finished its investigation into the fire aboard the 'Holiday Island' on July 22, 2022. More than 200 people were evacuated from the ferry after a fire broke out in the vessel's engine room at around 11 a.m., about an hour into its crossing from Caribou, N.S., to Wood Islands, P.E.I. The board will now write its report, the agency announced on Sep 28, 2023. After the fire and subsequent evacuation of the vessel during a crossing of the Northumberland Strait more than a year ago, investigators went through photos and videos as well as conducted interviews with people who were on the scene. They have also used the TSB's lab to examine parts from the Northumberland Ferries vessel, exposing them to the same kind of conditions, pressures and temperatures that were present at the time of the fire. Once the report is written and reviewed, it will be made public. The ferry was scrapped because of the amount of damage it suffered in the fire.

No return to service expected after fire

Sun Sep 18 15:20:31 CEST 2022 Timsen

The 'Holiday Island, following the fire in the engine room between Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island on July 22, was not expected to return to service. There was been a lot of damage in the engine room as well as in the various spaces adjacent to the vessel. It remained docked in Wood Islands until the insurance process ha been completed. The Transport Safety Board of Canada continues to investigate the cause of the fire.

Ferry returns to service later than expected

Thu Jun 16 11:56:48 CEST 2016 Timsen

On June 13, 2016, Northumberland Ferries announced the "Holiday" Island" needs more steel work than expected and wouldn't be available for service beginning on June 17 as scheduled. Most of the work on the ship is being done in the vessel’s main vehicle deck and in other above-water areas of the ship. The other vessel, the "Confederation" will sail five times each day, as opposed to the scheduled nine crossings when the "Holiday Island" is in service during peak season. Trucking companies were concerned because they won’t get as many runs in if they continue to take the ferry and their transportation costs will go up if they have to use the Confederation Bridge instead.
