Ocracoke-Cedar Island ferry schedule abbreviated for March
The North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Ferry Division will be running an abbreviated schedule on its Ocracoke-Cedar Island route beginning Tuesday, March 1.
The Motor Vessel Silver Lake is currently at the shipyard undergoing extensive work during its dry dock period. The MV Pamlico is scheduled to come in for its U. S. Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection March 1. Since both boats will be temporarily out of service, the route will go to a two-boat schedule.
The route will include the following runs:
Departing from Cedar Island at 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Departing from Ocracoke at 7:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
This schedule will remain in place until the required work on the ferries is completed and they are inspected.
The Swan Quarter-Ocracoke route will not experience any changes during this time period.
NCDOT awarded contracts to build two new Sound Class vessels to serve this route to Orange Shipbuilding Co. The new ferries are currently under construction and are expected to be delivered later this year and in 2012.
