CBC
Ferry service between P.E.I. and Nova Scotia has been suspended for the weekend as the fire that forced more than 200 passengers and staff to evacuate the MV Holiday Island on Friday continues to burn.
Passengers have also been told by Northumberland Ferries that the company isn't sure whether vehicles on board can be recovered.
Northumberland Ferries announced Friday evening the ferry service between Caribou, N.S., and Wood Islands, P.E.I., would be cancelled for a second day due to the emergency situation at the MV Holiday Island. It said in an update the following morning all crossings would also be cancelled on Sunday.
As of 9 a.m. on Saturday, smoke could still be seen billowing from the ferry that was headed to P.E.I., almost a full day after a fire broke out from the vessel's engine room.
Northumberland Ferries said in a text message update to passengers at around 10 a.m. that the fire hasn't been extinguished and that they don't know yet about the possibility of recovering vehicles.
