Ronja in for work and others

 In this series of photos taken yesterday, the live fish carrier Ronja is in for refit, propeller shafts and bow thruster are off and in for servicing it appears.


 The ferry Scotian has been hauled up on slip 5, refit and maintenance being carried out.  There was news that ferry service on the Freeport-Westport run was disrupted last week for approximately 16 hours while that ferry had mechanical problems.
 A barge from the aquaculture industry (perhaps a Cooke barge, but not certain) on the slip in behind the steel (big shop).  Inside the steel shop, a new Halifax-Woodside ferry is being built and now has a name: Christopher Stannix.  Hopefully I'll be able to see the new ferry before she heads out on a deadline of April 1st.
 The herring seiner Margaret Elizabeth No. 1 is still undergoing maintenance
