The Cat, the 349-foot ferry that travels between Portland and Nova Scotia wrapped up its first season.
The inaugural season of Bay Ferries Ltd.’s new Portland-to-Nova Scotia ferry service, The Cat, has come to a close, and despite comparatively lower passenger numbers from its predecessor, the Canadian ferry operator says it’s pleased with the turnout.
Officials at Bay Ferries told the Portland Press Herald that 35,551 passengers were carried onboard The Cat since June when it started offering service. Comparatively, during the two seasons that Nova Star Cruises traveled the same route in 2014 and 2015, they carried 59,000 and 52,000 passengers respectively.
“We’re really proud of how it’s going,” Mark MacDonald, chairman and CEO of Bay Ferries Ltd., told the Press Herald. “There were lots of challenges, but we feel we have something to build on.”
