Several runs from Swan Quarter, Ocracoke, Cedar Island cancelled on July 27
The North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Ferry Division has cancelled several ferry runs at the Swan Quarter-Ocracoke and Cedar Island-Ocracoke routes on Tuesday, July 27, for necessary repairs to the Motor Vessel Cedar Island.
The Ferry Division selected that date because it had the least number of reservations and would inconvenience fewer passengers.
The ferry will be moved to the N.C. State Shipyard in Manns Harbor, where the repairs will take place. Once it is fixed and cleared for operation by the U.S. Coast Guard, the ferry will return to service.
The following runs have been cancelled for July 27:
• The 7 a.m. run from Cedar Island to Ocracoke;
• The 9:30 a.m. run from Ocracoke to Swan Quarter;
• The 12:30 p.m. run from Swan Quarter to Ocracoke; and
• The 3:30 p.m. run from Ocracoke to Cedar Island.
The boat will be back at the Cedar Island terminal in time to make the 6 p.m. departure to Ocracoke, as well as the 8:30 p.m. run from Ocracoke to Cedar Island.
The rest of the regular runs at these locations will take place using the Motor Vessels Pamlico, Silver Lake, and Carteret.
Travelers with reservations for any of these cancelled runs should call the reservations center at 1-800-BY-FERRY (800-293-3779) and press “2” to make alternative arrangements. For further information, call the Cedar Island terminal at (252) 225-7411or the Ocracoke terminal at (252) 928-1665.
