Public Advisory: Update on Bell Island and Fogo Island Ferry Services

The MV Flanders, which has been undergoing repairs, will re-enter service tomorrow (Friday, June 30) on the Bell Island - Portugal Cove service. The MV Norcon Galatea will remain in service while the MV Beaumont Hamel undergoes required maintenance returning to service on the Bell Island - Portugal Cove run on Sunday, July 2.

To help relieve traffic volumes while repairs on the MV Veteran are completed, the Galatea will join the MV Legionnaire at Fogo Island - Change Islands - Farewell, entering service on Tuesday, July 4. The current anticipated return to service for the Veteran is mid-July after which time the MV Legionnaire will begin service to Bell Island in July. Further updates will be provided as the exact date is confirmed.

The Department of Transportation and Works apologizes for the inconvenience to travelers while vessels are out of service which has resulted in delays. The department appreciates the continued patience, cooperation and understanding of residents and visitors.
