PORTLAND (AP) — The high-speed ferry that’ll travel between Portland, Maine, and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, has arrived in advance of service beginning later next week.
The ship, dubbed The Cat, arrived in Portland Harbor on Sunday after completing sea trials last week after renovation and repairs in South Carolina.
The Cat is 349 feet long and can carry as many as 866 passengers.
The vessel, which is expected to enter service on June 15, will replace the Nova Star, a ferry that had operated the Portland-Nova Scotia run since 2014.
