Ferry crossings between Wood Islands, P.E.I., and Caribou, N.S., have been cancelled Sunday morning, according to an announcement by Northumberland Ferries Ltd.
It said the 7 a.m., 8:30 a.m., 10 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. crossing have all be cancelled due to "a technical issue" on the MV Confederation.
The Confederation is the only ferry currently in operation between P.E.I. and Nova Scotia. The MV Holiday Island was put out of service permanently after a fire onboard last July.
The MV Saaremaa 1, on loan from Quebec, replaced the Holiday Island on the P.E.I.-N.S. route last summer, and is scheduled to do the same during the peak tourism season this summer.
