Public Advisory: MV Nonia Completes Change Islands Service

The MV Nonia will complete its service to Change Islands and Fogo Island today (Wednesday, August 17). The vessel had been providing service to both islands to better accommodate traffic during the busy summer festival period.

After completing the scheduled service today, the MV Nonia will proceed to Lewisporte for minor repair work and then on to Green Bay, where it is expected to pick up service on the Long Island run on Friday. This will allow Green Bay to return to a two-vessel service, providing for dedicated service to Long Island with the MV Nonia and to Little Bay Islands with the MV Hazel McIsaac.

Ferry schedule and rates can be found at: www.gov.nl.ca/tw/ferryservices/schedules/ or by calling 1-888-638-5454 within Canada and 709-535-6244 outside Canada.
