Public Advisory: Changes to Norcon Galatea Sailing Times Effective August 24

Ferry users of the Fogo Island - Change Islands - Farewell ferry service are advised of changes to the sailing times for the Norcon Galatea that take effect tomorrow (Wednesday, August 24).

In consultation with the Change Island Ferry Committee, the Department of Transportation and Works is adjusting some of the sailing times for the Norcon Galatea to reduce congestion and overlapping of schedules with the Veteran at the Farewell ferry terminal.

The times for the start of the sailing day and the end of the sailing day have not been affected.

There have been no changes to the Veteran sailing schedule.

The revised Norcon Galatea sailing times for the two vessel summer schedule will be updated this evening online and can be found here: www.tw.gov.nl.ca/ferryservices/schedules/c_fogo.html
