New Nova Scotia Maine Ferry Project Proposed for Daily Trips
The proposal outlines a jointly funded ferry between Nova Scotia and Bar Harbor Maine. The ship costs about 3.0 million with 1.5 million from Nova Scotia and federal Canada. It would carry 600 passengers and 150 cars, speed 18.5 knots, and operate one round trip daily with an overnight Maine terminal stop. The Canadian side plans a 4.0 million spend and terminal at Yarmouth, with Maine providing a 1.25 million term installment returned over 30 years. The piece argues tourism growth and regional benefits justify the investment and asks if Maine should delay support.
