The MV Fundy Rose will be off its run this week.
Bay Ferries Limited is performing scheduled maintenance on the ferry.
Crossings will resume May 5 with a 4 p.m. departure from Digby, N.S.
The first Saint John crossing will be May 6 at 9 a.m.
Ferry passengers crossing the Bay of Fundy over the next few days may notice some unusual activity.
The RCMP began training exercises on the MV Fundy Rose Tuesday.
Specifically, it’s the Emergency Response Team.
The exercises are taking place both on the ferry itself and in the terminals in Saint John and Digby.
According to Bay Ferries, the exercises aren’t expected to disrupt the ferry schedule.
Crossings will continue as scheduled.
Passengers can expect to see increase RCMP activity, including vessel boardings and helicopter operations.
The forecast in the Bay of Fundy has forced some changes to the schedule for the Fundy Rose.
Both Saturday, Jan. 24, crossings – departing Saint John at 9 a.m. and departing Digby, N.S., at 4 p.m. – have been cancelled.
On Sunday, Jan. 25, the Saint John departure has been rescheduled to noon from 9 a.m. Check-in time is no later than 11 a.m.
And the marine forecast for Monday, Jan. 26, indicates winds and sea conditions that could affect operations.
In a social media post, Bay Ferries said it is monitoring conditions and will provide updates as needed.
Forecasted wind and sea state conditions require us to alter the Fundy Rose schedule as follows:
